13. I believe it's quite possible the Iran moves have little or nothing to do with Epstein

From claude.ai

* A detailed review of Project 2025’s foreign policy chapter notes that, on Iran, it calls for harsher sanctions, stronger support for Israel to take “appropriate measures” against the Iranian regime, and, “ultimately, seek regime change.”

* Another summary of Project 2025’s Iran plank describes it as advocating maximum political, diplomatic, and economic pressure, opposing any return to the 2015 nuclear deal, and aiming to block Iran’s regional ambitions, all with the stated goal of moving toward “a free Iran and a renewed relationship with the Iranian people.”

So while it is framed as supporting the Iranian people and using pressure tools rather than spelling out a step‑by‑step overthrow plan, the document’s own language and outside analyses both characterize its endpoint as regime change in Iran.


I think there's some decent evidence this is all just another Project 2025 goal being brought to fruition, personally. Epstein concerns *might* (I lean towards "unlikely" here but it's possible) have affected timing, but not the overall action
