Trump Considers Military Options for Iran Intervention

President Trump is considering a range of military options for potential intervention in Iran, following the bloody protests gripping the country. These options include targeted strikes against Tehran's security forces, but there are concerns that such a move could backfire, such as rallying the Iranian people around the government or escalating the conflict. Trump has warned that the US will “get involved” if Iran uses lethal force against protesters, but a deployment of troops is not currently under consideration. The death toll in Iran stands at 116, according to the US-based HRANA, while Trump has expressed his support for the protesters on social media.
