The peacock throne’s gambit: Iran’s Reza Pahlavi plans to flip the script on Beijing
AI Summary
Exiled Iranian royal Reza Pahlavi is signaling a potential shift in Iran's foreign policy, particularly concerning China and Russia. Pahlavi's chief of staff, Cameron Khansarinia, speaking in Washington D.C., dismissed China's mediation efforts with the current Iranian regime, accusing Tehran of regional aggression. This stance contrasts with China's ongoing diplomatic efforts, including a recent Middle East tour by special envoy Zhai Jun, aimed at de-escalating regional conflicts. China maintains it will continue mediation efforts. The potential reset in Tehran's ties with Beijing and Moscow is occurring as Pahlavi positions himself as a key figure in Iran's future, a claim that contrasts with Washington's more cautious stance.
