Yes, Pres. Trump will seemingly say two different things, or change after stating something.  But he’s dealing with a fluid situation, and with persons who are doing the same thing.  Like three dimensional chess.
“Bessent: The Iran Regime Is In Chaos, It’s Hitler’s Bunker–Hitler Is Dead, Himmler Is Dead, Goering Is Dead,” RCP, 3-22-26.

“Iran threatens to ‘completely’ close Strait of Hormuz and hit power plants after Trump ultimatum,” Politico, 3-22-26.  See also “Iran war updates: Iran warns of hits on energy sites after Trump threat,” Al Jazeera, 3-22-26.

It does seem to be over for Pahlavi.  As several of us have thought, he should have clearly held himself as the option only until elections could be held.  “The Distant Promise of Iran’s Would-Be King,” New Yorker, 3-22-26.  This is how the article concludes.  “Pahlavi remains the most prominent figure among the various dissidents jockeying for a leadership role in a post-Islamic Republic Iran. But, despite his seemingly good intentions, the pounding of Iran’s cities, the bombing of its palaces and cultural heritage sites, the food and gas shortages, the toxic smoke-filled skies, the dead schoolchildren, and the buzz of low-flying drones overhead all risk transforming his image from the leader of a unified future to the agent of his country’s ruin. In the ancient kingship tradition, endangering the empire would cause a king to lose his farr. No monarch in two and a half millennia of Persian history has invited a foreign power to attack the land of Iran, and nowhere in the long literary tradition of royal counsel—known as andarznameh, or “mirror for princes”—has an exception been made for the cause of ending domestic tyranny. This is the current predicament of Pahlavi, whose royal charisma has never been more on the line.”
