There was a time and place where villains used to lead whole countries and they were really evil and despicable men but they managed to hang on to power for decades because everyone knew that the man was propped up by a thug or group of thugs even more evil and violent and dangerous than the leader. That appears to be the strategy that the Grand Leader of Iran adopted and implemented and it is paying off in ways that could be entirely foreseen; not well for Iran.
I read earlier that the Leader divided Iran up into separate military districts that were answerable only to the Supreme Leader and in the absence of the Supreme Leader the thugs running each of those military sectors was permitted to use the maximum force and power available to him to strike out at Iran's enemies. At this point I'm pretty sure he didn't even furnish them with a definition of Iran's enemies and just left it up to the individual wickedness and hatred of the Satrap.
Thus, there can be no agreement absent a Supreme Leader standing up and declaring it so. No Supreme Leader is ever going to come again and do that and so each military district of Iran has to be defeated in detail by force or annihilation. As you might suspect the more muslim wickedly crazy and vicious you are, the less inclined you are to see or even recognize reason and restraint.
I am going to laugh if we offer the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan a couple million bucks to invade and wipe out sectors of Iran. We can probably take the north with the offer of a couple F-16s and all the bombs they want to the PKK.
When you think about it, this is pretty much exactly how the US crushed Prussia and extinguished Germany as a military threat for all time. We just let the savages and barbarians run loose and out of control over the parts we didn't need or want. Sadly, that applies to just about 100% of Iran. This is how the game used to be played back when Tacitus and Thucydides were keeping score.

Give weapons and support to enemies of Iran...
Gee where I have heard that "Strategy" before.
Ah farther back than the failing Roman Empire hiring German Barbarians...
Wonder how that turned out, let me get a cup of coffee to ponder that a bit.
We armed and trained ISIS, various groups in Afghanistan against the Soviets, might have worked there (maybe it was the USSR running out of funds for foregone adventures?) but guess what those tribesmen did to American after 20 years of running off the Taliban. Didn't we give the Taliban a butt load of weapons as a parting gift?
Recently the Mossad-CIA geeks decided to sell Trump that arming some Kurds would do the deed. LOL the Turk Security folks enjoyed that target practice and the free new toys from America.
The clue bat of Karma might yet wander through America like Sherman’s March Through Georgia.
