According to a report by the New York Times, US President Donald Trump has recently been briefed on several military options related to Iran.
The report said these options include limited strikes on selected sites in Tehran. Some of these sites are linked to the Iranian regime’s internal security system and are not purely military. The briefings are part of wider planning as the US administration considers diplomatic, economic, and military steps to prevent further violence by Iranian authorities.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
Earlier, Trump said the United States is ready to support Iran, saying the country is looking towards “freedom” like never before. In a post on Truth Social, he wrote that Iran is seeing a new hope for freedom and that the US stands ready to help.
US Senator Lindsey Graham added to speculation about possible American action. In a social media post, he addressed the Iranian people, saying their long struggle may soon end and that their courage has been noticed by Trump and others who support freedom. He said Iran cannot become great while religious leaders remain in power.
Graham later replied to Trump’s post, strongly supporting him and calling for freedom for the Iranian people. He said the current leadership in Iran must end for the country to move forward.
Meanwhile, protests in Iran continued for the fourteenth day in a row on Saturday. Security has been tightened as demonstrations spread across many cities.
According to the Institute for the Study of War, protest activity is continuing despite a nationwide internet shutdown. The group recorded 60 protests across 15 provinces since early January 10. Of these, 25 were medium-sized and eight were large.
What began as protests over rising living costs has now turned into a nationwide movement. Demonstrators are demanding an end to the Islamic Republic, which has ruled Iran since the 1979 revolution.
