ANOTHER TWIST TO THE IRANIAN SANCTIONS PLAN?

The idea that sanctions would create social stress in Iran has been greeted with skeptical questions from some time now.

Sanctions tend to hurt those who have nothing to do with what a government is being punished for, especially in a dictatorship such as Iran.

But here comes an interesting "twist".

Could it be the sanctions were designed to do just what this article suggest is taking place?

Could it be the sanctions are designed, at least in part, to created stress between two factions inside the government that already exist?

The anti Ahmadinejad movement has been known by all for several years.

Perhaps the friction caused by economic hardship is designed to split a government that depends on being united?

Perhaps this is not about Students and Middle Class working folks, but about rival political camps that are looking to climb to the top?

A Government divided is something that becomes very difficult to sick the Secret Police Thugs on.

It's easy to beat up protesting students, but what about political party members at each other's throat?

Ok, even if this was the case, I have to ask the question.

What is the desired outcome?

If we get political party factions fighting, does that mean the Qud force will no longer back the religious leader??

Does Khamenei lose his grip on power if the political underlings continue to fight?

Khamenei knows all too well what this end fighting can lead to and he is already well aware of the fact the sanctions are creating pressure on the day to day politics of Iran.

So, perhaps there is yet another possibility of what the world is trying to accomplish with the sanctions, but I still have to wonder... what is the end state?

What is it that the "plan" is trying to accomplish?
