AI Summary
White House envoy Steve Witkoff reportedly met with exiled Iranian crown prince Reza Pahlavi over the weekend amid intensifying anti-regime protests in Iran. The meeting, first reported by Axios, marks the first high-level contact between the Trump administration and the Iranian opposition since the protests began 15 days ago. Pahlavi, son of the former Shah, has positioned himself as a potential transitional leader.

Although Trump has expressed support for the Iranian people, he has not publicly supported Pahlavi, making Witkoff's meeting a potential shift in policy.
