In case the regime "loses its ability to run the country".

The U.S. administration is working to create an interim government in Iran in case the current government loses its ability to run the country.

This is reported by The National.

According to the publication's source familiar with U.S. efforts to find an alternative to the current Iranian leadership, the son-in-law of U.S. President Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, is directly involved in the process.

He is working to form a circle of Iranian-American businessmen to provide advice on the possible creation of a transitional administrative model of governance.

The source also noted that Washington is planning to gather Iranian opposition figures in Palm Beach, Florida. The meeting could take place as early as next weekend, but organizational issues are making it difficult to prepare.

It is also not yet known whether the talks will be held directly at the presidential residence of Mar-a-Lago, or at another location nearby. The White House has not officially commented on the reports.
