Khamenei in the crosshairs

With help from Daniel Lippman Subscribe here | Email Robbie | Email Eric President DONALD TRUMP may have vetoed a reported Israeli proposal over the weekend to assassinate Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah ALI KHAMENEI, but Israel and its boosters are still pushing for the U.S. to back regime change in Tehran. Israeli strikes against Iran are increasingly targeting political institutions along with high-ranking Iranian military officials. Israel targeted the offices of Iran's state broadcaster today; Israel also claimed it killed four top Iranian intelligence officials in a Sunday airstrike. Israeli Prime Minister BENJAMIN NETANYAHU said today that killing Khamenei 'would end the conflict' and didn't rule out targeting the cleric who sits atop Iran's Islamist government. That followed comments from Defense Minister ISRAEL KATZ describing the strike against Iran's state broadcaster as part of Israel's efforts to punish the 'Iranian dictator.' If Israel were to oust the regime in Tehran, what would replace it? Some pro-Israel critics of the regime have looked to former Crown Prince REZA PAHLAVI as a potential vehicle for political transformation in Iran if Khamenei and clerical leaders are ousted. Pahlavi's backers point to poll numbers that show he enjoys some of the highest name recognition with the Iranian public. Pahlavi has long advocated for Iran to have a secular democracy, while not ruling out the possibility that some version of the monarchy might be restored. His office said in a statement that 'the Iranian people will decide on the nature of their democracy.' The statement went on to blame the current Iranian leadership for the ongoing fighting. Only once in modern history has an autocratic regime given way to a modernizing potential monarch — Spain following the death of dictator FRANCISCO FRANCO. That succession also only occurred because Franco named King JUAN CARLOS I as his successor and Juan Carlos was expected to continue the regime's policies. Pahlavi has built ties with the Israeli government, and he has hesitated to condemn Israel's strikes against Iran. But despite his name recognition, it's far from clear whether he'd command the loyalty of enough Iranians to lead a political transformation in the country. Many analysts have long predicted that Iranian military leaders are in the best position to succeed the clerics — but Israel has been killing many of those uniformed leaders. Per the Quincy Institute's TRITA PARSI, regime change might even backfire for those who wish to prevent Iran from achieving a nuclear weapon. Khamenei, Parsi argues, is seen by some as a hurdle to Iran crossing the nuclear threshold because of a fatwa, or religious edict, he is said to have issued in the past. (This is a point which is hotly debated in Iran watcher circles, we should note.) Iranian elites could deem that fatwa is null and void if Khamenei dies, rushing for the bomb, Parsi warns. For now, the White House isn't publicly embracing any effort to dislodge the Iranian government. A White House official told Reuters over the weekend that unless Iran attacks Americans as part of its response to Israel, assassinations are off the table. Trump is still keeping the door open for diplomacy. At the G7 today, Trump confirmed Iran has been reaching out to the U.S. via intermediaries and didn't rule out a negotiated end to the fighting. 'Iran is not winning this war, and they should talk, and they should talk immediately, before it's too late,' Trump said. The Inbox MEANWHILE AT THE G7: While Iran and Israel trade missile volleys, Trump is at the G7 for the first major confab of his second presidency. And European leaders are keen to prove themselves as the next Trump whisperer waiting in the wings. As our colleagues Stefan Boscia and Hannah Roberts report, French President EMMANUEL MACRON, British Prime Minister KEIR STARMER and Italian Prime Minister GIORGIA MELONI all fancy the label and their interactions with Trump will be highly scrutinized as they try to court the president. The leaders see cultivating further warm ties with Trump as key to securing trade concessions and pushing for continued U.S. engagement with Europe. The summit, which was expected to focus on Ukraine and the trade tensions between the U.S. and many of its allies, is also now discussing the tensions in the Middle East. G7 leaders are debating a proposal to call for hostilities between Israel and Iran. RUSSIA PLAYS PEACEMAKER? Russia is reupping its effort to position itself as a potential peacemaker in the fighting between Iran and Israel. Earlier this month, Russia offered to house Iranian uranium as a way to secure a nuclear deal between Trump and Tehran. 'This proposal remains on the table, it remains relevant,' Kremlin spokesperson DMITRY PESKOV said today. 'But, of course, with the outbreak of hostilities, the situation has become seriously complicated.' Moscow's insistence shows that great powers are antsy about the tensions between Iran and Israel. The proposal could also prove propitious to Russia as it tries to boost goodwill with Washington, potentially allowing Moscow to get a lighter touch from Washington when it returns its attention to ending Russia's three-year invasion of Ukraine. ZELENSKYY'S CANADIAN CAMPAIGN: Ukrainian President VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY is en route to Alberta to meet with G7 leaders and Trump and push for more support in the wake of the collapse of U.S.-led peace talks. The visit from Zelenskyy, who joins the summit at the invitation of Canadian Prime Minister MARK CARNEY, is expected to include the first meeting with Trump since the now-infamous Oval Office incident in February. And it comes as MAGA allies have signaled Trump is frustrated with Russian leader VLADIMIR PUTIN for derailing talks. IT'S MONDAY: Thanks for tuning in to NatSec Daily!

'Shyam, in his overwhelming patriotism, came to us, and said, 'I want to join the Army. I want to wear the cloth of the nation. Just doing what I can do to help from Palantir isn't enough,'' Col. DAVE BUTLER, a spokesperson for Army Chief Gen. RANDY GEORGE, told our colleagues at POLITICO Pro's California Decoded. 'Then he said, 'I've recruited three other guys to come with me.'' The move is a sign of deepening ties between Silicon Valley and the Pentagon. The service on Friday announced the formation of Detachment 201 with the goal of helping the U.S. military produce tech solutions quickly and at scale. The Complex U.S. BULKS UP IN MIDDLE EAST: The U.S. is poised to have two aircraft carriers in the water off the Middle East amid the Israel-Iran conflict. The USS Nimitz aircraft carrier rerouted from the South China Sea today, our colleague Paul McLeary reports. The beefed-up presence comes amid concerns of a wider war that could put U.S. military personnel in the region at risk. The Nimitz will join the USS Carl Vinson carrier strike group, which has sailed in the Arabian Sea since the spring amid stepped up operations against the Houthis in Yemen. Air Force refueling aircraft also deployed to Europe from bases in the U.S. this weekend in a preventative measure to support any operations in the Middle East. On the Hill IRAN WAR POWERS PUSH: Sen. TIM KAINE (D-Va.) has filed a war powers resolution aimed at forcing a Senate vote on the use of military force against Iran. The resolution would forbid the U.S. from acting militarily against Tehran without congressional authorization, though it wouldn't prohibit Trump from acting to defend the U.S. from Iran. Kaine, who has long pushed to rein in broad presidential war powers, said he's concerned about the possibility that the U.S. could be drawn into hostilities between Iran and Israel. 'I'm not a pacifist. I believe in strong defense. And I'm also somebody who I've never voted against an Israel aid package in the whole time I've been here,' Kaine told NatSec Daily. 'I'm not an isolationist, but I also believe in learning the lessons of history. I think the U.S. engagement in the war in Iraq was a grievous mistake. And the U.S. decision to stay in Afghanistan after the death of [OSAMA BIN LADEN] also ended up being very counterproductive. So let's learn the lessons from recent history and not repeat.' The war powers resolution is privileged, meaning Kaine can force a vote on the Senate floor and get senators on the record, though it won't advance without GOP support. Kaine told NatSec Daily that he doesn't believe this is a 'predictable' issue for senators. 'The most serious thing we do is have discussions about war and peace. But those strong feelings don't line up neatly with partisan politics,' Kaine said. Broadsides NUCLEAR WORRIES: The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute is decrying the risks of nuclear war in its yearbook released today, warning the era of disarmament is now over. 'The era of reductions in the number of nuclear weapons in the world, which had lasted since the end of the Cold War, is coming to an end,' said HANS KRISTENSEN, an analyst with SIPRI's Weapons of Mass Destruction program. All nuclear-armed countries, SIPRI says, are modernizing their nuclear weapons, a departure from recent policy consensus among nuclear powers. And the think tank is singling out China's rapid nuclear buildup as a major driver of nuclear anxiety. While the report acknowledges that the U.S. and Russia account for the lion's share of nuclear weapons around the world, the think tank highlighted that 'China's nuclear arsenal is growing faster than any other country's' and 'depending on how it decides to structure its forces, China could potentially have at least as many' intercontinental ballistic missiles as both the United States and Russia. Those claims prompted sharp pushback from Beijing. Foreign Ministry spokesperson GUO JIAKUN said at today's press briefing that China's nuclear program is solely defensive and insisted that China was not part of any arms race. Transitions — Britain named BLAISE METREWELI the new head of intelligence agency MI6. Metreweli, a career MI6 officer, was most recently director general of technology and innovation at the agency. She will be the first female chief of MI6. — JOHN BARSA is joining Continental Strategy as a partner. He previously was acting USAID administrator during Trump's first term. — GABE CAMARILLO has joined KBR as senior vice president of its Defense and Technology Solutions business.

Kirchner was Executive Director at the Federation for American Immigration Reform. Pham was acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, principal legal adviser for the Department of Homeland Security and assistant Secretary for border security and immigration policy at the Department of Homeland Security.

Shocking Iran-Israel combat no one is talking about

Shocking Iran-Israel combat no one is talking about originally appeared on TheStreet. As Israel and Iran engage in military hostilities for the fourth day since the latest escalation in the Middle East, there remains room to analyze the implications of each country's use of financial instruments amid geopolitical tensions. While Israel is publicly known to have no Bitcoin, Iran could be utilizing Bitcoin in its monetary pursuits. As per Tehran Times reports dating back to 2018, Iran has often used crypto as a source of fighting Western economic "terrorism." Reports also indicate Iran has been utilizing its energy surplus to mine Bitcoin. Reports also shed light on Chinese firms choosing Iran to mine Bitcoin due to the country's relatively cheap electricity and China's crypto crackdown. Iran considered Bitcoin mining as an option due to international sanctions and a monetary deficit in the country. The country has abundant oil and natural gas but struggles to access global financial markets. According to reports, Iran could circumvent banking prohibitions by utilizing its spare electricity to power Bitcoin mining. According to a Reuters report, Iran has established state-approved and licensed operations that are required to sell the mined Bitcoin directly to the country's central bank, as recently as 2024. F or research and trading analysts, the significance of Iran's Bitcoin mining has increased significantly due to its benefits in circumventing sanctions, as per Babel Street. The Central Bank of Iran declared that retail transactions—including buying products and services—will use the digital rial, a state-backed stablecoin. Following initial research and clearance from the High Council of Money and Credit of Iran, the nation started its digital money initiative in 2021. Al Jazeera revealed in May 2021 that "around 4.5% of all global Bitcoin mining" takes place in Iran, generating an estimated $1 billion in revenue. However, whether Iran has been using the revenue for its defense is not officially known. At press time, Bitcoin has been up nearly 2%, trading at $107,513.88, as per Kraken.
