Stratfor, the “shadow CIA,” admits the current Iran protest‑riots are not a path to democratic change but a pretext for US‑Israeli escalation. In its January 7 assessment, Stratfor concedes that Iran’s institutions remain intact and the exiled opposition too fractured to seize power, so the real “utility” of unrest is to “lubricate” covert ops and potential bombing campaigns. It even predicts that new strikes would likely crush the protests and rally Iranian nationalism, as in 2025, yet this sober warning is unlikely to reach Trump through his intensely pro‑Israel pro-Zionist pro-genocider national security gatekeepers.
