Iran’s exiled crown prince says he’s been in contact with Trump administration

Reza Pahlavi coordinates with US officials to establish a technocratic transitional leadership for Iran, aiming to end prolonged US involvement, briefing Congress and naming transition team members.

  • Reza Pahlavi told reporters he has been in contact with the US President Donald Trump administration via intermediary Steve Witkoff and has briefed members of Congress, 'to keep them informed.'
  • After attacks on Feb 28, longtime supreme leader Ali Khamenei was killed, Mojtaba Khamenei was elevated, and pro-monarchy rallies in Munich and North America boosted exiled opposition.
  • Pahlavi outlined a Transitional System that would rely on technocrats and experts to guide Iran temporarily, with Saeed Ghasseminejad leading candidate identification inside and outside Iran.
  • Washington's response has been mixed, with US President Donald Trump saying, 'They talk about the son of the shah, they talk about other people, but hasn't been there in many years,' and praising internal efforts like those in Venezuela.
  • With a high-profile schedule, Pahlavi asserts he is ready to lead a Transitional System at CPAC later this month, citing a March 14 statement of his preparedness.
