Iran is a perfect testing ground for decentralized governance experiments.

Revolutionary Guard, cleric groups, militias, secular factions—
they split a country's multi-sig private key among five unrelated nodes.
In name, they share governance rights; in practice, each mines independently and engages in internal conflicts and arbitrage.
"Decentralized power" without coordination mechanisms is just the prelude to fragmentation.
This outcome is similar to most DAOs:
The more dispersed the governance, the more fragile the system.
Each node is playing for itself, waiting for the inevitable Rug pull.
Trump facing Iran, and everyone facing DAO situations, are the same:
Negotiation? No single counterpart—once signed, no one enforces it.
Pressure? Each node responds individually, with no unified clearing price.
Attack? Destroy one node, and others fork and keep running.
Either get exploited for ten years or cut losses and sell all.
