Seriously? What do you mean? What evidence do you have to back that up?

Another 7 South Sudan's ?

Divide and conquer .

= A combination of political, military and economic strategies that aim to gain and maintain power by breaking up larger concentrations of power into chunks that individually have less power than the one implementing the strategy.

Hope it fails.

The US has been on the decline for at least 30 years and all Trump is doing is significantly exacerbating that decline on so many levels. It almost feels like it was planned, the economic sabotage and destruction almost feels deliberate.

So what is the agenda exactly? It cannot be sheer stupidity and monumental ignorance only.

Yeah, right, if you suffer from <removed> then that's the only possible reason.

How about: (after Venezueal) controlling the export of oil and gas to China. That's a biggie.

Stopping a regime that has been financing and encouraging terrorism - ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Muslim Brotherhood, ETC, from getting hold of a nuclear bomb.

Relieving Iran of an extremely authoritarian regime, that didn't hesitate to machine-gun tens of thousands last year...

Agenda: It seems you missed it, maybe you should read some other news source that doesn't keep telling us how warm and cosy the Islamic conquest is. There will be difficulties, that is clear, but that doesn't mean Trump is stupid.

they might like to be divided, to preserve their culture and follow their own norms rather than a cookie cutter thing.

7 countries would be nice, then they could all kill each like Iraq and all the other 'love a civil war' countries. win win

Iran (persia) is 5000 years old so unlikely to break up.

From where I sit, Americans don't do a bad job of killing each other either.

This is simply speculation by a YouTuber. My guess is Iranians want Iran to stay one country but to be free of their theocratic overlords. Here are some cherry picked yet relevant comments to the video you linked got.

We don't want to separate this land that has stayed united for more than 2000 years with all of it's cultural differences, we just want all of us to live in peace under the name "Iran".

as an iranian. no we're not seperating - im azari. when our brothers and sisters got murdered, we didn't say "oh he is kurd, she is turk, the other is lord, the 4th is balooch..." all we saw was one of us were no longer among us. Iran is called Iran and not persia because it belongs to all us.

I think most Iranians want change in governance and the right to freedoms such as freedom of religion including but not limited to the choice of secularism as well as freedom of expression but don't want balkanization ...

I am an Iranian Kurd and I agree with the final conclusion of your clip. The people of Iran, regardless of their ethnic identity, also share an Iranian identity and have no problem with it. If you study history, you will see that no territory has separated from Iran because its people wanted to; rather, territories were separated from Iran through war and force by other countries...

More than a few other countries do a better job at offing each other ...

Divide and conquer is as old as the hills. If they divide the country into 7 states, they will have no chance of economic growth. They will be fighting to consolidate.

Might as well hive off California and New York from the US. They have more chance of survival alone.

The sheer stupidity was the election who once more choosed this lunatic with his lunatics fellows who now rules the White House.

Common sense poster here,obviously not part of the obsessed international left crowd who excuse/are silent , as Iranian citizens by the thousands lost their lives for the greater good of a Authoritarian regime. Good on you for your statement.

"On 21 January 2026, Iran’s Supreme Council of National Security issued a statement that 3,117 people were killed during the uprising. However, on 16 January 2026, the UN Special Rapporteur on Iran, Mai Sato, said in a media interview that at least 5,000 people had been killed".

I'm happy for you. If it didn't turn into a bash USA thread, I'd be surprised. Y'all just can't restrain yourselves. Very telling & sad.

And here I thought it was about IRAN splintering into 7 sections. One can only hope.

Bibikahn' surely must be named after a proper leader of the sane world🤔

Given the suggestion that Iran might splinter is closely related to the US bombing the snot out of the country in hope of it's demise there is no surprise in question is there?

As far as I understand, the plan is the same everywhere. The Americans pressure the country somehow—bombings and sanctions, for example. Then traitors in the target country change the laws, supposedly to save the state, which leads to the country's break up.

It's a good plan. It's worked many times.

However, do you know what the main problem with traitors is? They easily betray even those who recruited them.

A country where masked ICE agents shoot other Americans without being prosecuted looks pretty splintered to me.

Or the US break up into 50 countries? 😁
