President Donald Trump is seriously weighing a massive military offensive against Iran after back-channel negotiations over the country's nuclear program and ballistic missiles hit a dead end, sources confirmed to CNN. The dramatic report comes after Trump considered military action framed as support for anti-regime protesters facing brutal government crackdowns, including mass executions. Trump is reportedly considering multiple options: airstrikes targeting Iran's leadership and security officials responsible for protest deaths, plus strikes on nuclear sites and government institutions. US intelligence briefings indicate Iran's regime is historically weakened following military strikes and mass protests. Trump has publicly fantasized at seeking regime change, telling Politico: "It’s time to look for new leadership in Iran."
