How would explain the aggression against the US Navy in the Persian Gulf by the Iranian Navy? Why is Iranian bothering the US Nav

Your GenDyn theory was moving along just fine until the Americans threw in with the Turks and Iran started becoming more aggressive against the US. Could it be time to re-evaluate some of it? I'm not saying you are wrong entirely, maybe you've got it mostly right. Could this mean a decision has been made to support the Sunnis?

I've written about this many times. I would suggest that you have a
blind spot, when you're confusing words with actions. Those threats
are directed at a domestic audience, in order to attempt to reunify
the country in the same way that anti-American rhetoric unified the
country in 1979 against the Shah. However, that was a generational
Crisis era, while now Iran is in a generational Awakening era, and the
same tactics don't work. But that only makes the hardline geezers
double down on the rhetoric. But rhetoric and actions are two
different things.

We should not trust the above analysis and conclusion any further than we can throw it. This analysis IGNORES the last couple of decades of Iran's supremacist Islamic government and their continued threats to wipe Israel off the map. "Generational Dynamics" has a blind spot to the resurgent fundamentalist orthodox Islamic supremacist mindset that has washed over the Islamic world since the Ayatollah. The Iranian threat to Israel and the US is real. We need to take them at their word and as well as the core of the Islamic doctrine that guides their policy - destroy Jews; destroy the infidel. That is Iran's foreign policy which has little to do with Iran's former policy that previously existed under a more secular governance but exists no more.
