Скачать или смотреть Geo-Strategy #7 | Game Theory and Power in Tehran | Prof Jiang Xueqin | Full Lecture Explainer

In this seventh episode of Geo-Strategy, Professor Jiang Xueqin applies Game Theory to one of the Middle East’s most mysterious political events the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.

The official explanation says it was a tragic helicopter crash caused by bad weather and aging equipment.
But when viewed through the logic of power and strategy, a deeper question emerges: Who benefited most from Raisi’s death?

📌 Key Insights in this Episode

The Official Story: Fog, mountains, and a 1960s-era helicopter all perfectly plausible. But plausibility does not equal truth.

Game Theory Analysis: Raisi’s death reshuffled Iran’s political chessboard. When we follow the incentives, the picture changes.

The Internal Suspect IRGC: The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a powerful and deeply entrenched military elite, had the most to gain by removing Raisi before he could rise to Supreme Leader.

Foreign Adversaries vs. Domestic Rivals: While the U.S. or Israel may benefit indirectly, Professor Jiang argues that the internal power struggle within Tehran is a more realistic driver.

Strategic Outcome: If the IRGC was involved, expect a shift toward an even more radical government that thrives on provoking the West and justifying its own authority through permanent crisis.

🎯 Main Idea
Raisi’s death isn’t just a political event it’s a window into how power preserves itself in the modern Middle East. In the logic of empire and survival, there are no accidents — only strategies.
