While Iran International, a London-based opposition satellite channel, supports the war and the restoration of the Pahlavi monarchy, Iran's opposition in exile is reportedly re-evaluating its stance on the conflict.

Kijan Espahangizi, a Swiss historian with Iranian roots, discusses the Iranian opposition's lack of a unifying figure, the prevailing pessimism in the West regarding Iran, and the controversial idea of Donald Trump liberating Iranians.

Reza Pahlavi, the exiled crown prince of Iran, has reportedly reinvented himself as a significant political player, leading the opposition from abroad.

Iran's regime fears protests during traditional New Year celebrations, but the opposition is currently in hiding, expressing discontent through new, specific forms of resistance.
