US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff held a secret meeting with Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran’s last Shah.
Foreign media reports indicate discussions covered Iran’s recent protests and other matters; this marks the first high-level contact between the Trump administration and an Iranian opposition figure following the violent unrest.
Meanwhile, Iran’s government claims the two-week protest wave has ended with conditions normalizing, though internet remains suspended nationwide—prompting Starlink’s free service offer—while Trump renewed threats of harsh action against protester executions, alleging a massacre.
