There could be a rational explanation if you assume US administration is compromised by Russia and Ayatollah's son wanted him out to assume power. One phone call to Putin, Putin's one phone call to Krasnov and everyone is happy. Son gets the power, Russia gets sanctions lifted, higher oil price, US and allies spend kit that cannot be now sold to Ukraine, Krasnov gets to play the stock market. Win-win-win.

That son almost died during US strike and survived by pure luck, so unprobable. The rest, not so much.

Free democratic world loses, dictators around the globe win. Sad days for mankind.

It is not verified and probably a cover story for why he flew to Moscow to personally thank Putin.
