🇺🇸🇮🇷❗️The US administration is working on the issue of forming a temporary government in Iran in case the current Iranian authorities are no longer able to lead the country, reports The National, citing sources.

"A source close to American initiatives to find an alternative to the current regime in Iran told the newspaper that President Jared Kushner's son-in-law is closely involved in the process. He is helping to gather a group of Iranian-American business leaders to provide advice on the formation of a transitional structure that would help govern Iran in the event of a regime collapse," the publication informs.


According to the source, the US administration wants to gather Iranian opposition figures in Palm Beach, Florida. The meeting could take place this weekend, but the logistics of the event have proven to be complicated. It's also unclear whether the opposition will be invited to the presidential residence Mar-a-Lago located in the area or somewhere nearby. The White House declined to comment on this information.
