Trump has also, thus far, declined meeting Pahlavi, who has lived in Washington since his family&rsquo;s exile in 1979.<\/p>\n<p>Possible military intervention in Iran, meanwhile, has been on Trump&rsquo;s mind for months. After vowing to attack if Iran killed protesters, he held off after he claimed the regime canceled scheduled executions.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4457327\/saudi-uae-feud-undercuts-us-moves-neutralize-iran\/\">SAUDI-UAE FEUD UNDERCUTS US MOVES TO NEUTRALIZE IRAN PERMANENTLY: &lsquo;KNOCK IT OFF&rsquo;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Instead, Trump has surged military assets to the region, including what is now two U.S. aircraft carriers, as he weighs a response.
