Whitcoff met with Pahlavi

Trump's special envoy, James Whitcoff, secretly met with Reza Pahlavi, the son of Iran's last shah and an Iranian opposition figure, Axios reports, citing anonymous sources. According to sources, this is the first such high-level contact between a representative of the U.S. administration and an Iranian opposition leader. Pahlavi seeks to position himself as a 'transitional leader' in the event of the current regime's collapse.
