U.S. President Donald Trump is considering a range of military and political options against Iran, including targeted strikes aimed at weakening the country’s security leadership and encouraging renewed protests, according to multiple sources familiar with the discussions. The deliberations come amid heightened regional tensions following Iran’s recent crackdown on nationwide protests that reportedly left thousands dead. Options under discussion reportedly range from limited strikes on specific leaders to broader military action targeting Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities or nuclear enrichment facilities. Iran’s leadership, while strained by economic crisis and unrest, remains in control. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has reduced his public profile but retains final authority over key decisions, including nuclear strategy.
