Washington Scales Back Regional Footprint Amid Iranian Warnings

Empty airspace over Iran, during a temporary closure of the country's airspace amid concerns about possible military action between the United States and Iran The United States has begun precautionary drawdowns at several military bases across the Middle East after Iranian officials warned neighbouring countries that American facilities could be targeted in the event of a wider conflict. The adjustments focus on relocating non‑essential personnel and reducing exposure as regional tensions continue to rise.

Trump Questions Pahlavi’s Prospects, Criticizes Zelenskiy Over Ukraine Stalemate

        President Trump during his 30 minute interview with Reuters White House correspondent Steve Holland

Former U.S. President Donald Trump cast doubt on the political future of Iran’s exiled opposition figure Reza Pahlavi while also assigning blame to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy for the ongoing deadlock in the war with Russia.

In recent remarks, Trump said he was unsure whether Pahlavi — the son of Iran’s last shah — could genuinely unite Iranians if the current government were to fall. He described Pahlavi as personable but questioned whether he could command broad support inside the country, noting the fractured nature of Iran’s opposition movements.

Trump also suggested that Iran’s ruling system could eventually collapse under internal pressure, though he refrained from endorsing any particular successor or political path forward.

The comments highlight Trump’s skepticism toward both Iran’s opposition leadership and Ukraine’s wartime strategy, injecting fresh controversy into two of the world’s most sensitive geopolitical crises.
