An Iranian opposition figure, writing on Telegram, argues that President Trump's nuclear deal with Iran was primarily a personal slight against Barack Obama, resulting in a 'Nuclear Deal 2.0' similar to the original. She asserts the deal empowers an oligarchic 'Islamic Republic 2.0' under Mojtaba Khamenei, predicting increased covert attacks against Israelis, including FPV drones from the West Bank, and political bolstering of Hezbollah. The assessment is an opinion from a single, unverified source.
An Iranian opposition figure, whose identity is not independently verified by The Zioneer, published a detailed political analysis on the source attributed to her. In it, she assesses U.S. President Donald Trump's recently finalized memorandum of understanding with Iran—often referred to as the 'Islamabad Agreement'—as primarily a personal and political maneuver to distinguish himself from his predecessor, Barack Obama, by securing what she terms a 'Nuclear Deal 2.0.'
She further argues that the agreement empowers an oligarchic faction within the IRGC that has successfully sidelined Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and positioned his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, as his successor. She labels this emergent system 'Islamic Republic 2.0.' According to her assessment, this new oligarchic regime will prefer covert and deniable operations over overt military confrontation with Israel. Specifically, she predicts increased funding to Hezbollah for political survival in Lebanon, and the use of FPV drones operated from the West Bank as a signature weapon, given the difficulty of proving Iranian supply chains.
The analysis concludes with a recommendation that Israel prioritize military self-sufficiency, including new missile and kamikaze drone programs. This is an opinion piece from a single source; its claims remain unverified by the Desk.
