@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇮🇷 NEW: Reza Pahlavi has become increasingly desperate, releasing a 4-minute long video on X talking about what his policies would be if he took power in Iran

Pahlavi says that under his leadership, relations with America would be normalized, and Iran would 'immediately recognize the State of Israel', joining the Abraham Accords.

Furthermore, he says that he'd open up Iran's markets for American investments, pledging to sell Iranian oil for cheap to the 'free world'.

He says he would combat 'Islamic extremism' and stop Iran's nuclear program completely.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: The U.S. military believes it is becoming less likely that Trump will order a strike against Iran, especially following his comments today which were perceived as an 'off-ramp'

U.S. military officials said the Pentagon was confident enough to have troops move back into Al-Udeid Airbase in Qatar, after it was partially evacuated earlier today. – NYT

— Once again, to clarify, I'm only reporting this just in case. It's POSSIBLE that Trump truly doesn't have appetite for an attack anymore, especially now protests are done.

But as we all know by now, what Trump says vs what he actually does are two completely different things. It could be deception.

— 🇮🇷 UPDATE: The NOTAM has expired. It may be extended again. As said previously, Iran's airspace is now technically open, although most airlines are still avoiding it.
