Iranian exile factions vie for US leaders’ blessing to lead Iran
AI Summary
Following a hypothetical large-scale US military operation against Iran, various Iranian exile factions are vying for US support to lead a future Iranian government. Similar to the lead-up to the Iraq War, these groups are lobbying American officials, hoping to gain favor. One faction is led by Maryam Rajavi of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), backed by figures like Rudy Giuliani and Mike Pompeo, who claims to have a government-in-waiting. Another contender is Reza Pahlavi, the son of the former Shah, who asserts he has been called upon by the Iranian people to lead a transition and has support from those who believe his lineage could unite Iranians. Both leaders are promoting their credentials and support, but neither has strong ties to Washington.
