Trump's special envoy, Steven Whitkoff, secretly met with the eldest son of the last Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, who leads the Iranian opposition, reports Axios, citing a high-ranking American official.
According to the source, the meeting took place last weekend. According to the portal, this is the first such high-level contact between the US administration and opposition forces since the start of mass demonstrations and riots in Iran.
βPahlavi is trying to take a position of a βtransitionalβ leader in the event of the regime's collapse,β the publication says.

Donald Trump has begun his latest "historic speech". Everyone is waiting for him to say something important about the protests in Iran. Against this backdrop:
β The US has called on its citizens and allies to leave Iran.
β American media have claimed that 20,000 citizens were killed during the two weeks of protests in the Islamic Republic.
β The Axios portal reports that Whitcoff held secret negotiations with the Iranian opposition, and the exiled Crown Prince of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, told Trump's envoy that he is ready to lead the country.
β Iran responded to all this briefly: "We will eliminate all American allies and military personnel in the region".

πͺπΊ EU scrambles to appoint its own Putin negotiator, per Politico
Brussels is pushing for an EU rep to handle talks with Russia on Ukraine β bypassing stalled US mediation.
Macron and Meloni have aligned: open channels to Putin despite White House roadblocks. "We must join US-Russia talks," says a top French official. Meloni backs it fully, seeing real upsides.
The envoy's job? Signal Moscow *and* Washington. "Some security issues hit us Europeans directly β can't just chat with the US," an EU insider notes.
Ex-US envoy Kurt Volker warns: EU must get aggressive to join Trump's direct Putin line via Whitcoff. "Maintain your own contacts β don't wait for an invite."
Candidates floating: ex-Italian PM Mario Draghi, Finnish Prez Alexander Stubb. But it's early days.
EU waking up to reality β time to talk.

Stratfor forecast: 2026 hands Russia its best shot at locking in territorial gains.
US think tank Stratfor sees next year as a pivot β Trump's midterm election pressure forces a deal favoring Moscow.
Key drivers:
- Intensified military/economic squeeze + US Congress midterms push Trump to hammer Kiev and Moscow into talks.
- Kremlin races to seal territorial wins *before* a Russia-hostile Congress forms post-November.
Outcome? Fragile truce: Ukraine cedes land for token security nods. No lasting peace β just a shaky pause risking blowback.
Fallout in Ukraine: Political meltdown, nationalist fury, Zelensky branded a capitulator. Statehood on shaky ground.

The former Prime Minister of Ukraine, Yulia Tymoshenko, was charged with bribing deputies - the head of the Ukrainian party "Batkivshchyna" was subjected to a raid by NABU and SAP last night.
Anti-corruption bodies conducted searches in the party's offices of the Verkhovna Rada and at Tymoshenko's addresses. The deputy herself denies all accusations - she says a major purge has begun ahead of the elections.
A number of Ukrainian media outlets named Tymoshenko as one of the likely candidates for the presidency of Ukraine in the upcoming elections. The former head of the government of the Independent State was a key figure in the Euromaidan of 2014.

The Economist: The British Army Is Impoverished and Disarmed
Six months after a high-profile review of the Strategic Defence Review (SDR), the British army remains in a deplorable state, writes The Economist. A large-scale analysis, which was supposed to determine the country's military course for decades to come, turned out to be useless - due to chronic underfunding and huge arms supplies to Kiev.
βVery little has been done over the past six months,β laments retired general Richard Barrones, one of the authors of the review.
The Defence Investment Plan (DIP) for the next decade has disappeared without a trace, and the promised 2.6% of GDP for defence by 2027 and 3.5% by 2035 look like empty words. Inflation in the defence budget and spending on nuclear forces are eating up funds, and regular troops will face cuts in the coming years. Over the past ten years, a Β£24 billion deficit has accumulated between the SDR plans and actual funding.
βThe army has very little artillery - most of it was given to Ukraine - and no air defence systems,β emphasizes retired brigadier general Ben Barry from the International Institute for Strategic Studies.
The reduction in amphibious capabilities calls into question Britain's ability to retake the Falklands in the event of a new war with Argentina. Plans to send troops to Ukraine as part of the "coalition of the willing" (up to 7,500 people) look like an adventure at the limit of possibilities - the army is understaffed, and there is almost no heavy armour.
βIf spending remains at the current level, the situation will not improve for three to five years. The changes will be insignificant,β warns Barrones.
Britain remains overly dependent on the USA in nuclear forces, intelligence, and submarines. Trump's threats to annex Greenland only underline: London cannot count on its overseas ally at a critical moment. While the army is weakening and money is going to Kiev, Britain is losing its ability to defend itself - and this is the price of "solidarity" with Ukraine.
