There have been online claims suggesting that former U.S. President Donald Trump is not aligned with Iranian opposition figure Reza Pahlavi, the son of the late Shah of Iran.

Some commentators allege that Trump has been engaging with alternative Iranian figures regarding future leadership discussions. However, there is no official confirmation that he has formally endorsed or rejected Pahlavi.

Reza Pahlavi has publicly stated in interviews that he believes he has significant support among segments of the Iranian population, particularly among protesters critical of the current Iranian government. During various protests inside Iran, some demonstrators have been recorded chanting slogans referencing the former monarchy.

Trump has also made public remarks criticizing Iranians. He told them they have to behave. There is tendency that trump may conflict with Iranians.

Reporter: You promised the Iranian people you would help them, but it sounds like you are willing to end this fight after your military objectives have wrapped up. Isn’t that a betrayal?

Trump: I would like to help them if they can behave, but they have been very menacing....… pic.twitter.com/6rqK922UW1

Fake news. Iran has even killed Trump.

No one has seen Trump in public for the past 3hours.

CNN is covering up. CNN are zionist news. They will not report the news.

Remember: they killed satanyahu 4 days into the war.

Instead of creating fake news like this, kuku take Colorado so you can be happy.

You just want to create your own happiness.

Creating happiness on fake news is even worse

well deserving. He should be run for his life.

Israel has been ignoring this guy...

Mossad agent ..mossad agent...mossad agent

I'm just singing ni oo...I didn't mean anything

Israel can't censor CNN and BBC. These channels are anti Israel.

Wait..can Israel censor aljeezerat and aljezeerat will keep quiet ?

Ko possible.

If US government cover up military casuality, opposition can use it again the president and move for impeachment

OMG.

Iran has won in ai world.

It is difficult to imagine an outcome where the conflict ends without being seen as a strategic victory for the US and Israel.

The US and Israel have achieved what many considered impossible eliminating Khamenei while maintaining control of Iranian airspace.

It is also widely reported that a significant portion of the Iranian government and military leadership are now in hiding. In many conflicts, once leaders can no longer appear publicly in their own country, it signals a serious strategic setback.

That said, credit must be given to the resilience of the IRGC. They have continued to launch counterattacks though largely targeting US-aligned Gulf nations rather than directly striking major US or Israeli military installations.

So far, US/Israeli forces have not suffered any major military losses, aside from the destruction of two multi-billion-dollar radar systems. In contrast, reports suggest severe damage to Iran’s navy, air force, air defense systems, and underground missile facilities.

Possible Exit Scenarios for Trump

Here are three potential exit paths that could still be framed as victories for the US:

Scenario 1: Full Decapitation of the IRGC and Installation of a New Government

This would be the most decisive outcome but also the most dangerous and unlikely.

It would require widespread domestic uprising within Iran to topple the government. However, the IRGC has demonstrated a willingness to use force against civilians.

If this scenario succeeds, it would represent the most complete strategic victory.

Scenario 2: Prolonged Internal Conflict

If US airstrikes fail to fully stop drone attacks on Gulf states and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, Trump could pivot strategy.

One possible approach would be fostering internal instability that keeps the IRGC occupied domestically for years. Kurdish factions, for example, could become significant players.

A prolonged civil war could weaken Iran structurally, similar to how years of conflict destabilized Syria and eventually led to Assad’s fall.

Scenario 3: UN-Pressured Ceasefire

If international pressure forces a ceasefire, the US could still claim strategic success.

At this stage, Iran have suffered significant military and infrastructural setbacks potentially losing decades of development progress. The IRGC leadership are weakened, and rebuilding military capability could take years.

Even under a ceasefire, the balance of power may have shifted substantially.

So this will happen and American democrats party will remain silent and not start roasting trump.

Shame on you nairaland for pushing fake news to the front page.

Seun. Don't let your rogue moderators destroy your platform

donleo92:
Now, they are targets by the IDF. And the IDF are like John wick in uniforms. They know how to get a job done

IDF is saving them for the last.

This man did a good job.

The problem is. There are still many of them. Obviously from all accurate targetting ISrael has done for the past few days. They are still many there.

In one of the most significant strikes of the current war, the IDF on Saturday night announced it had destroyed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force headquarters.

The role of the feared and notorious Quds Force has been to destabilize the entire region and foment pro-Shiite and anti-Sunni movements in several countries.

Another major role until the 2023-2025 Middle East War was to build a "ring of fire" around Israel, including through Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Gaza, the West Bank, and other places.

The IRGC Quds Force took a major blow in 2020 when its legendary chief, Qasem Soleimani, considered number two in power in Iran at the time to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was assassinated by the US.

Israeli official says Israel has launched strikes on 30 oil storage tanks across Iran.

BREKAING: Israeli media reports that assessments are that Mojtaba Khamenei is wounded, but still alive, after recent strike.

Iran ai prompt online warriors will run away from this thread.

They have been celebrating the destruction of 2 radar systems since yesterday, while Iran burns.

Seriously, to say the fact, Hamas put a better fight.

IRGC should have learnt from hamas

I thought Iran has won. Tel aviv has been decimated.

US ships sank.

so all those post nairaland is pushing to the front page are lies..

i don't get it

In Islamist mind, the war has ended.

When Netanyahu said its going to be 2 months war.

The war has not started they are ticking objectives.

Loosers

The destroyed 2 radars and nairaland islamist started celebrating
Even Hamas hurt Israel more than this.

Iran under performed big time.

Hamas were a more formidable force

givedemwotowoto:
They want to go and surrender and stay alive. If the leader was taken out so easily, what fighting chance do they have?

They still have fanatics around them

seunlayi:
Most of you saying thrash in support of Iran Because you only see images of the bombs in Isreal not in Tehran, wait for it, Tehran is in ruins no thanks to block in communication

Some of us can see the videos. We have friends in Iran. IRCG are gone. There are fighters who are waiting for instructions to start civil war.

After 7 days. And the war has ended.

Iran spent more on online propaganda than air defence

Is Iran aware of these ? Situation on ground is far from this.
