Israel and Iranian Opposition Discuss Proposed 'Cyrus Accords' Plan

Israeli Minister of Science, Innovation and Technology Gila Gamliel publicly endorsed exiled Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, describing him as a partner for a future transition away from the Islamic Republic. The endorsement is framed as part of the "Cyrus Accords," a proposal that invokes the legacy of Cyrus the Great to signal a joint effort between Israel and Iranian opposition forces to prepare for a post‑regime government.

The proposal includes claims that Israel will support and arm Iranian dissidents, and that the United States, under President Donald Trump, could play a role by renaming the U.S. Institute of Peace and providing military assistance. U.S. carrier groups have been noted in the Indian Ocean and Mediterranean as the region watches the development.

Both articles present the Cyrus Accords as a strategic initiative aimed at aligning Israeli security interests with the anticipated freedom of Iranians, while warning against alternative factions such as the MEK.
