P184
Iran will become significantly more religious and eschatological as the war continues and America destroys Iranian urban centers
What Jiang said
“One outcome this war that we should expect is that Iranian society becomes much more religious much more fanatical... The Americans are intent on destroying Iranian urban centers like Tehran”
Analysis
Americans are bombing railway networks connecting Tehran to the countryside; Tehran may disappear as a city due to food shortages, causing people to turn to religion for comfort
