Iranian Opposition Delegation Engages Israeli Leaders in Post-Regime Reconstruction Talks

A delegation of Iranian dissident researchers, led by senior adviser Saeed Ghasseminejad and sent by exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, visited Israel to discuss future cooperation and regional peace after the anticipated fall of the Islamic Republic. The delegation attended the 'Beyond Horizon 2025' conference, meeting with Israeli leaders including President Isaac Herzog and Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology Gila Gamliel, who emphasized the importance of the 'Cyrus Accords' as a framework for Iran-Israel collaboration and regional prosperity. The Iranian opposition views Israel as a strategic partner and envisions reopening embassies and recognizing Israel post-regime change, highlighting their shared ancient historical ties. This outreach follows Pahlavi's own visit to Israel two years prior and is part of the broader Iran Prosperity Project, aimed at rebuilding Iran's future. Meanwhile, Israel continues its diplomatic efforts to strengthen interfaith and regional ties, exemplified by hosting delegations such as Rwandan Muslim religious leaders to demonstrate religious pluralism and counter misinformation. These developments occur amid ongoing tensions in the region and the aftermath of the Hamas-led attack in 2023, underscoring Israel's focus on fostering alliances and stability.
