Professor Jiang predicts US strikes on Iranian power plants as next escalation

What was said

"So now you move to a third step which is you destroy the state's capacity to deliver basic services which means water, food and electricity. So when Trump says I will destroy their civilization, what he's really saying is I will destroy their power plants."

Discussing an ‘escalation ladder’, Professor Jiang argues that, after other measures fail, Washington’s next move would be to target Iran’s electricity supply by striking power plants. He frames it as a theory of coercion designed to trigger revolt by worsening civilian conditions, and says there are ‘signs’ this will happen, while acknowledging it has ‘not happened yet’.
