Exiled son of former Iranian shah meets Ukraine's Zelensky
BBC Live Reporting
Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of the Iranian shah deposed in 1979, has met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Paris.
The 65-year-old claimed he is "uniquely placed" to lead a transitional government in Iran, though US President Donald Trump has over his suitability.
Iran and Russia have been allied for decades. The US has accused the Kremlin of aiding Tehran's war efforts in recent days, and Iranian-designed drones have been used extensively during Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
In comments released after his meeting with Pahlavi, Zelensky said: "Ukraine truly wants to see a free Iran that does not cooperate with Russia and destabilize the Middle East region, Europe, and the entire world."
In a separate post, Pahlavi said: "Few nations comprehend the cost of defending national sovereignty more than Ukraine."

Rule of Law intensifies…
Could be to minimize damage in case of a strike.
Past administrations had been war-gaming an Iran invasion for decades – but with Trump in the White House, observers said that the rigidly closed circle of advisers around him, the collapse of an interagency process in the government and his erratic decision-making process made this unlike any other campaign in recent memory.
“This is hard under any circumstances but especially with so little [evidence of] planning,” said Philip Gordon, the former national security adviser to Kamala Harris and the White House coordinator for the Middle East under Barack Obama.
Of the growing chaos in the Middle East, he said: “It is surprising that Trump is surprised.”

This is getting to be too much; somebody censor that thing!
Most of the missteps that Putin supposedly took in last four years, Trump admin have repeated many of them in last 2 weeks, by the way this article was written by someone with a sense of humor, another juicy bit from it,
“The military planning has been stellar,” said Michael Rubin, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and an expert on US foreign policy on Iran. “That said, politically, this is increasingly looking like a cluster fuck. And the reason is that step one of any plan is to establish a goal – the targeting should be in pursuit of that goal. The United States has this backwards. We have the targeting, but we don’t have a clear goal, and that lies not on the Pentagon planners, but on .”
