If the Syria withdrawal signals a broader move away from the policy of maximalist confrontation with Iran, the neocons are going to enter full-on, five-alarm-fire panic mode. (Recall, earlier this year Trump said he'd meet Rouhani "without preconditions")

Syria withdrawal happened bc of Turkish pressure. Erdogan outweighed Bolton on Syria bc he wants to destroy the Kurds, that doesn’t mean he isn’t fine w/ a US attempt of regime change in Iran.

Of course it's a possibility, but if Trump prioritized maximalist confrontation with Iran in the way Bolton & co. wanted, he wouldn't have been susceptible to Erdogan's pressure in the first place.
