    Lindsey Graham, the Republican senator from the United States, stated in a video of his meeting with Prince Reza Pahlavi that it is the people of Iran who will choose their future leader, expressing hope that such an opportunity will soon be available to them.

    In the video, Graham said: "It is the people of Iran who will choose their next leader, and I eagerly await the day when they have that opportunity. But you have really stepped up at this moment and provided a compelling narrative for the suffering people of Iran. I truly believe that help is on the way."

    He addressed Donald Trump, the President of the United States, saying: "Thank you for prioritizing the people over the Ayatollahs; you are the first to do so. Thank you for acknowledging the reality that the only way to make Iran great again is for the protesters to prevail over the regime. I believe that day is near."

    This American senator also addressed public opinion in the U.S., stating: "This issue matters to us. This regime is the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism, and its hands are stained with the blood of Americans."

    The news agency "Sky" reported that the British government has begun the process of withdrawing its personnel from the U.S. military base in Qatar.

    This action comes as Donald Trump, the President of the United States, recently stated in response to developments in Iran that "help is on the way" and that a "very strong" action would be taken if the Iranian government carries out planned executions. In response, the Islamic Republic has threatened to retaliate against U.S. military bases in the region in the event of a potential attack.

    In this context, the United States has also started the withdrawal of some of its forces from the "Al Udeid" airbase in Qatar, which is considered the largest U.S. base in the region.

    A spokesperson for the British Ministry of Defense, in response to these reports, stated: "Due to operational security considerations, we do not comment on the details of deployments and bases. The UK always takes necessary precautions to ensure the security and safety of its forces, including the withdrawal of personnel if necessary."

    ♦️Abbas Araghchi, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, accused the Israeli government of attempting to drag the United States into war and directly intervene in the national protests of the Iranian people, by sharing an image of a post by Tamir Morg, a reporter from Israel's Channel 14, on the social media platform X. In response to the Israeli journalist's claim that "foreign elements have armed Iranian protesters with military weapons," Araghchi wrote that Israel this time is "loudly shouting the hidden part of the story."

    The Iranian Foreign Minister, referring to the deaths of hundreds during the protests, stated: "Israel openly expresses its satisfaction with arming individuals and creating chaos in the streets." He addressed Donald Trump, the President of the United States, saying: "If he seeks to stop the killings, he must know where the root of this violence lies."

    These remarks come as images, which are difficult to transmit abroad due to internet outages, clearly show the armed crackdown by suppressors against protesters who often are merely chanting slogans.

    ♦️The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, January 24 (Iran time), citing statements from officials of the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic in recent months, about the imminent danger of bankruptcy for Bank Sepah and four other banks in Iran.
    According to this report, Bank Sepah, which is one of Iran's important financial institutions and linked to the Revolutionary Guard, could follow a path similar to Bank Ayandeh and face bankruptcy due to its high concentration and the large loans given to companies and holdings affiliated with itself.

    The author of this report believes that the root of the economic grievances that sparked the Iranian national revolution was the dissolution of Bank Ayandeh.
