The Iranian Regime and the Grammar of Deceitful Maneuvering

Biding time is the key word to understand the nature of Iranian juggling before the forthcoming American Elections ( November 3, 2020 ).

The only hotspot where they keep stoking the embers of civil strife is Lebanon with its volatile equilibriums and lingering hazards, otherwise, its simulated quiescence betrays future destabilization strategies and terrorist actions along different geopolitical spectrums.

The equivocations of the Islamic regime in Teheran antedates its disagreements with the current US administration and traces back to its millenarian political eschatology, paranoid worldview, and the vested interests of a cynical dictatorship fighting for its survival amidst compounded systemic crises which question the rationale of the Islamic regime and its meta-narrative.

The chances of overseeing international political normalization is preempted by the gnawing legitimacy crisis and its liberalization subtexts and overtones.

The trickiest part of this unresolving dilemma is the sturdiness of the ideological panopticon and its inability to overcome the inherent restrictions and self defeating normalization propensities.

The equivocations are far from being circumstantial and tied to momentary considerations, they are systemic and relate to the survival of this bankrupted bloody dystopia.

Realistic calculation of interests and diplomatic accommodations resort to wishful thinking and skewed political voluntarism, disproved by the hard nosed malevolence of an imperial dystopia, the fickleness of ramschackle geopolitics and the nihilistic drifts of radical Islam in its different variants.

The chances of normalization in the case of this operational violent dystopia relies on strong containment politics, eroding internal legitimacy, unswerving military dissuasion, total war scenarios, political conditionality and war diplomacy.

The wily clerics are drawing on a legacy of religious prevarication, millennial survival strategies and a cynical world-vision which leaves no room to Human Rights, liberalization, democratization and development as the main narratives of State reformation, transitional justice and contemporary peace making, We are in a typical scenario of a communication breakdown between clashing world-views and disparaging interactions.

The self reforming proclivities of the Islamic regime in Iran are reduced to ashes, and its international maneuvering is idle gesticulation meant to outmaneuver its sundry nemeses, be it domestically or internationally.

Any diplomacy should reckon with prevarication, double speak and intentional malfeasance as premisses and mental predicates, lest we lose our ground to fallacies and deliberate self deception.
