Breaking News : Trump Pushes for ‘Decisive’ Military Options Against Iran After Halting Strikes – WSJ Reports
In a stunning escalation amid Iran’s brutal crackdown on nationwide protests, President Donald Trump is reportedly pressing his aides for “decisive” military actions against the Iranian regime, just days after pulling back from authorizing strikes last week.
According to sources familiar with the discussions, Trump has repeatedly emphasized the need for any U.S. response to have a profound and definitive impact, potentially aimed at weakening or even toppling the regime. This comes as U.S. military assets, including fighter jets and carrier strike groups, continue to build up in the region, keeping “all options on the table.”
The move follows Trump’s vocal support for Iranian protesters, where he declared “help is on the way” and criticized Supreme Leader Khamenei, amid reports of thousands killed in the regime’s violent suppression.
