Trump Engages Regional Leaders on Potential Support for Iranian Opposition Amid US-Israel Strikes

US President Donald Trump has engaged with Kurdish and other regional leaders about potentially supporting Iranian groups willing to oppose the regime amid escalating US-Israel strikes in Iran following Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's death. While Trump has not decided on providing arms, training, or intelligence, he has urged Iranians to rise up. US officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, emphasize that the primary goal remains dismantling Iran's missile and nuclear capabilities rather than explicit regime change.
