Motaghi: The Americans will never deploy military forces in Iran

Americans emphasize space control;  However, the Israelis' view is that the atmosphere should be made critical, violent and bloody

Motaghi: Trump is not looking for a full-scale war

  American military operations are for more bargaining and a more effective role in building power

Motaghi: Today there are many differences in Iran's social structure

  If the political processes in Iran become too radical, there will be violence that will cover the whole of Iran!

Motaghi: I consider Reza Pahlavi a stage tool

  In the coming months, we will see an escalation of violence

Motaghi: The separation of the construction of power from the social forces leads to the transformation of the foreign force into a "liberating actor".

  [In January] a large part of the social space felt that it could no longer have peaceful discourse formats.

Motaghi: Armed measures had no effect [in the victory of the 1978 revolution].

  The United States and France also used non-violent policies during that period

Motaghi: A system that is inefficient is more inclined to mechanical action

Motaghi: The current atmosphere bears a strong resemblance to August/September 1978.

Motaghi: No one can ignore the role of media and international factors in political subversion.

  The field of governance had a lot of opportunity and experience to heal wounds

Motaghi: The social structure in Iran has been transformed.

"Heroic Flexibility" means that when you cannot realize your politics, power, ideals, and patterns, you must accept what is imposed upon you!

Mottaqi: Over the past years, the political system has tried very hard to unify the space.

This mechanical integration is one of the main factors of structural fragility.

Mottaqi: The media created conditions for someone who was never a political activist to become bold.

What started in Iran will continue because none of the actors achieved their goals.
