Bad news for Iran's exiled opposition leader Reza Pahlavi, who is losing credibility as he blames Trump for confusion while failing to deliver any uprising on the ground.

• Pahlavi said Trump is sending mixed signals by telling Iranians to rise up while also negotiating with the regime.
• The pushback: Pahlavi has waited 47 years for this moment, claims to have military defectors ready, but none have shown up.
• Trump's job is America first, and he has already done more to weaken the Iranian regime than any past president by hitting the nuclear program.
• Iran's regime killed over 40,000 of its own people in two days and has cut off the internet longer than any country in history, crushing protests.
• FIFA has banned the pre-revolution Iranian flag with the lion and sun from the upcoming World Cup, angering the Iranian diaspora.

Outlook: If no uprising happens, Pahlavi will likely blame Trump rather than admit his own movement could not deliver.
