'Lets make Iran great again,' Pahlavi urges Trump

US President Donald Trump is scheduled to be briefed on Tuesday on specific options to respond to the nationwide protests in Iran, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing US officials.

The planned meeting with senior administration officials will focus on possible next steps, including boosting anti-government sources online, deploying cyber operations against Iranian military and civilian sites, imposing additional sanctions and military strikes, the report added citing US officials.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine are expected to attend the meeting.

No final decision is expected from Trump at the meeting, as deliberations remain at an early stage, according to the report.

Iranians living in the United Kingdom, across Europe, Turkey, and in Australia held rallies over the weekend in support of nationwide protests in Iran, chanting slogans against Iran’s leadership and voicing backing for Prince Reza Pahlavi.

Demonstrations were reported in Glasgow, Scotland, as well as in Gothenburg, Sweden and the Netherlands, where protesters chanted slogans including “death to Khamenei” and “Long live the Shah,” according to videos received by Iran International.

London and Istanbul saw rallies by Iranians and activists on Sunday outside Iran’s embassy and consulate in support of nationwide protests in Iran.

Protesters also gathered at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate backing protests in Iran.

In Melbourne, Australia, Iranians also held a large rally on Sunday, chanting “Long live the Shah” in solidarity with protesters inside Iran.

The Senate Republican Conference voiced support for the people of Iran amid nationwide protests.

“The people of Iran were the first victims of the murderous Ayatollahs. President Trump is right to stand with the Iranian people,” the group said in a post on X.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Israel is closely monitoring developments in Iran as protests spread across the country.

“Israel is closely monitoring developments in Iran. The demonstrations for freedom have spread across the country. The people of Israel, and indeed the entire world, marvel at the immense bravery of the citizens of Iran,” Netanyahu said at the start of his cabinet meeting.

“We all hope that the Persian nation will soon be freed from the yoke of tyranny.”

Israel’s military chief, Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, held situational assessments over the weekend in light of the protests in Iran, the Times of Israel reported.

The Israeli military is treating the escalating anti-government protests as an internal Iranian matter, the report said.

However, after Iranian threats on Sunday to attack US and Israeli targets, the military is staying operationally prepared and ready to respond if necessary.

Separately, Israel’s Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee will hold a meeting on Wednesday to assess the situation.
