Iran's Islamic theocracy will transition into Shia eschatology and martyrdom ideology as the war continues

What Jiang said

“So what happened is that is the Islamic theocracy will transition into Shia eschatology or martyrdom, okay? Where they think that this war is about return having a 12th Imam, Mahdi, who is the basically the Messiah, return to lead them to war against the Great Satan”

Analysis

In war, nations become more extreme. Iran's religious leaders will transition toward Shia eschatology, viewing the war as the return of the 12th Imam (Mahdi) to lead them against the Great Satan.
