US Considers Tough Options to Influence Iranian Regime
United States President Donald Trump stated his readiness to take decisive measures against Iran due to the brutal suppression of protests in the country. According to sources in the White House, the administration is considering several scenarios to influence the Iranian regime.
Response Options
According to Trump, the US is exploring "several very tough options" to impact Iran. Possible actions include military strikes, cyber operations, sanctions, and ensuring protesters have internet access.
"The military is studying this situation, and we are considering some very strong options. We will act decisively," Trump told journalists.
Situation in Iran
Protests in Iran have been ongoing since December 28, 2025. According to human rights activists, the number of casualties has already exceeded 500 people. The demonstrations initially were caused by an economic crisis but later transformed into large-scale anti-government protests.
Trump emphasized that the US may intervene and help protesters gain freedom if the regime continues to use deadly violence.
Potential Consequences
The White House acknowledges the risks of military intervention. Some advisors believe that forceful actions could have a reverse effect and lead to population consolidation around the authorities.
The President also mentioned possible negotiations with the Iranian side and is considering providing protesters access to satellite internet through the Starlink service.
