In a series of secret meetings, US envoy Steve Witkoff has engaged with Reza Pahlavi, the exiled crown prince of Iran, to discuss the escalating protests within the country. Reports indicate that these discussions come at a time when the protest death toll has exceeded 2,000. Witkoff and Pahlavi are believed to have exchanged views on the situation in Iran and potential responses, with speculation rising around possible significant military actions against the Iranian regime. The meetings underscore ongoing US interest in Iranian affairs and could hint at diplomatic maneuvers involving Pahlavi, who has openly opposed the current regime. As tension mounts, questions arise about the possibility of a surprise visit from the crown prince to the White House in the near future.
