I don’t buy the cause and effect of Trump’s UN speech and what’s happening now. Empty stomachs are a great motivation.

One thing the MSM continue not to get is Trump is a construction magnate, who understands the globe. That’s his job. He has more contacts than anyone out there since global construction is really played at the government level. As a construction magnate you have to understand the politics as well as the challenges put before you.
Iran was an exercise in a SWOT analysis. Trump looked at the regime, did the analysis and realized that the (T)hreats were the populace rising up against the regime. The (O)pportunities presented the same way. For Trump, that was a no-brainer.
The author makes no such claim.
"Mr. Gorbachev: TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!"
Many wrote-off President Reagan's calling for the removal of the Berlin Wall the same way.
Surely as you state, empty stomach's are a great motivator. So is knowing that the leader of the Free World is on your side. The two together are a powerful combination.
BTW: It's President Trump who called vociferously for a tightening of sanctions on Iran after declaring them out of compliance with the agreement. I'd say he gets some degree of credit here.
We do not know what the Arabs have created on the Persian streets.
There are certainly Arab and perhaps Israeli community activists on the Iranian streets. They came with money...... lots of money
The cause wasn't the speech, it was ending the nuclear agreement and its associated multi-billion-dollar payoffs from the U.S. to Iran.
The point is when did Trump know and what did he know? In September he was signaling change in Iran. He would not support Obama’s failed policies and money give away to Iranian terrorists. The gig was up. Watch what Trump says. He is setting up the chessboard for a new game and the press is still complaining about how he beat them three games ago. He is one smart leader. Why doesn’t he just fire Muellar? He knows Muellar will fail. Let him collapse under his own failure.
