Newsquawk Staff ·
- The regime’s hierarchy has indeed already suffered significant losses, and it is crucial that the Iranian regime gains nothing from this and that the people of Iran have greater protection for their lives and more opportunities to determine their own fate.
Full Post: I met in Paris with the Crown Prince of Iran, @PahlaviReza . We discussed in detail the situation in Iran and the region, as well as the U.S. operation against the terrorist regime. The Crown Prince and his team briefed me on signals they are receiving from inside the country. The regime’s hierarchy has indeed already suffered significant losses, and it is crucial that the Iranian regime gains nothing from this and that the people of Iran have greater protection for their lives and more opportunities to determine their own fate. We spoke about how international pressure and joint efforts could help achieve this. Ukraine truly wants to see a free Iran that will not cooperate with Russia or destabilize the Middle East, Europe, and the world. I am grateful to the Crown Prince for his clear assurances of support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Our teams will remain in communication.
What it means
This meeting highlights Ukraine's active engagement in regional geopolitics, particularly concerning Iran's influence and potential actions against the U.S. operation. The emphasis on international pressure indicates a wider coalition effort, which could impact energy prices and geopolitical stability in the Middle East. Traders should monitor related assets such as oil, gold, and regional currencies for potential volatility stemming from this diplomatic engagement.
