In re: The conflict in Iran & what will ultimately happen worldwide.

The best way forward in Iran is to: 
- Preserve the Islamic Republic so that Iranian society can continue to function the way it does, internally.
- HOWEVER align Iran's foreign and defence policy with the United States.

Ultimately the United States, China & Russia will broadly agree on areas of influence where they will be preeminent while obviously ensuring protection for important allies of the United States within the Chinese & Russian areas.
