JUST-IN: Trump Is Not Looking For A Way To End This War. He Is Looking For A Man To Run Iran After The War Ends

The Trump administration is not looking for a way to end this war. It is looking for a man to run Iran after the war ends. And the man they are looking at is the same man who just threatened to strike every Treasury bond holder on Earth.

Politico reports that senior officials are evaluating Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf as a potential post-war partner using what they call the “Venezuela model”: install a cooperative internal figure in exchange for favorable oil terms and nuclear concessions.

Officials describe Ghalibaf as “a hot option.” The process involves what insiders term a “quick test,” where candidates who fail are eliminated. That word carries weight in a war where two nuclear scientists were killed “just days ago” and Netanyahu’s hand is still outstretched.

The New Yorker reports that Reza Pahlavi, the exiled crown prince, has been dismissed internally as the “loser prince.” He lacks the internal network to challenge the regime from within. A man who left Iran in 1979 cannot deliver Hormuz in 2026.

Washington needs someone inside the structure. Ghalibaf sits inside the IRGC power network, controls the parliament, and is the most visible wartime leader while Mojtaba has not appeared in 24 days.

He is the man posting threats against Treasury holders while intermediaries arrange his meeting with Witkoff and Kushner in Islamabad. Simultaneously the enemy and the candidate.

Joe Kent, who resigned from the National Counterterrorism Centre over an assessment that Iran posed “no imminent threat,” told Fox that “the real fight is about to begin: getting Israel on board with peace.” The war with Iran is approaching a military conclusion. The war with Israel over the terms of that conclusion has not yet started.See The Full, Details. .
