Stuart Rhodes advocates for using the U.S. Special Forces "force multiplier" model to support local Iranian resistance rather than a conventional ground invasion. He references the success of the Jedburghs in WWII and early operations in Afghanistan as templates for empowering non-Muslim Persians to overthrow the Mullahs. Rhodes expresses concern that Trump has not been briefed on this model and may be led into a protracted occupation by the military-industrial complex.
