Ben Rhodes: ‘You Are Going to Have a More Militarized and Hardline Iranian Government on the Back End of This War’

RUSH EXCERPT:

RHODES: “I think big picture is that you are going to have a more militarized and hardline Iranian government on the back end of this war. And you know better than anybody, Christiane, the complexity of that regime, it was a kind of negotiation between the IRGC and a political leadership and a clerical leadership overseen by supreme leader. Well, when you decapitate the regime by assassinating the supreme leader and you create an existential threat to that regime, the IRGC, or the ones who emerged both to crack down on the populace, but also they‘re the ones who controlled the state. The IRGC are the ones that that closed the Strait of Hormuz.”
