President Donald Trump is seriously considering launching an air campaign against regime forces in Iran, US officials say, after security forces gunned down protesters at demonstrations across the country during an internet blackout.
A report published by The New York Times Saturday night cited multiple American officials who said that the president has been briefed on a number of new options for military strikes in Iran.
According to the report, Trump has yet to make a final decision on a possible attack, but he is said to be seriously considering strikes in response to the Iranian government’s violent crackdown on protesters.
The scenarios presented to the president include strikes limited to military targets in Iran, as well as options for hitting nonmilitary regime sites in the capital city.
Trump has repeatedly threatened to strike Iran in response to the use of deadly force against protesters.
On Saturday, the president took to his Truth Social account to offer American “help” to the protest movement.
