Persians make up a small majority in Iran. There can be several brushfires lit beneath them. There are Arabs in the southwest oil producing region. There are Kurds, Azeri Turks, and Armenians in the northwest oil producing region. Most concerning to the regime are the Balochs in the southeast. Iran and Pakistan have cooperated to suppress the Balochs. Perhaps the Baluchistan provinces should be combined into a new country. However, State and CIA would have to follow though and not promise but not deliver. CW
I think the CIA has been defanged. I wrote a book for the CIA on the history of lawyers there. There were roughly ten plus or minus two from 1947 to 73. Then came all the hearings and the number started to climb. Then came Iran-contra. Now it's over 150. They have to sign off any everything.
