Newsweek reported that U.S. and British intelligence officials noted that Khamenei has an escape plan if the protests continue. President Donald Trump has previously warned Iran that he would take action against the current leadership if more protesters died in the second week of protests. But the Iranian Foreign Ministry has warned against such action if any intervention occurs.
Online reports from Iranians display videos of the Islamic Regime opening fire on protesters amid the uprising.

During an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News that was posted to X, the leader of the opposition, Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, stated, “In all these years, I’ve never seen an opportunity as we see today in Iran. Iranian people are more than ever committed to bringing an end to this regime, as the world has witnessed the last few days.”
He noted that over 100 cities are filled with protesters seeking to free themselves from the “tyrannical regime.”
Pahlavi posted a YouTube video message to the military members of the Iranian regime. He explained that they have a choice to make: support the people or the questionable leadership or the people. He asked them to protect the people and not fire on them, and support the cause.
