US carpet bombing will unite Iran's urban-rural divide, creating more cohesive society
What Jiang said
“But when you cover ball the cities which are the main source of of of support for you know progressive western policies you make them united with the rural areas. Okay does that make sense? The Iranian people no longer see themsel each other as enemies. They see the Americans as enemies.”
Analysis
Major Iranian internal conflict was urban (secular, progressive, pro-Western) vs rural (religious, poor). Carpet bombing cities eliminates urban support for Western policies and unites both groups against America. 'The Iranian people no longer see each other as enemies. They see the Americans as enemies.'
