P243
Israel and Iran will eventually work together to build a new order in the Middle East after proving their respective strength and the weakness of the US and GCC

What Jiang said

“If Iran proves it is strong, and Israel proves it's strong, and GCC proves it's weak, the US proves it's weak, guess what's going to happen? Israel and Iran are going to get together and say, 'SCREW THESE GUYS. LET'S JUST WORK TOGETHER, MAN.'”

Analysis

Game theory principle: the strong respect each other and prey on the weak. If both Iran and Israel prove strong while US/GCC prove weak, they will ally against the weak.
