Viewpoint: Trump Aims to Exploit Rift Between Iran's President and Military to Influence Situation

BlockBeats News, April 1st, Trump earlier stated that "the new president of Iran's regime has just requested a ceasefire from the United States." Analysts have expressed that Pezheshkiyan served as Iran's president before the conflict, and is currently still the incumbent president. The key question is whether he has actually assumed power, or had in the past. The Iranian presidency is usually a symbolic position responsible for civilian government affairs, and policies need approval from the Supreme Leader and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. There are increasing signs recently indicating a division between the president and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Trump's strategy seems to be to exploit this division, releasing a peace signal to the Iranian people through the president while claiming that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is obstructing negotiations. This may cause internal turmoil, ultimately leading to a regime change, or at least creating an unstable situation.
