US EditionTrump Says US Military Considering ‘Strong Options’ on Iran
U.S. military considers cyberattacks and direct strikes amid Iran's crackdown with over 544 killed and 10,600 arrested, President Trump warns of early action.
- On Sunday aboard Air Force One, President Donald Trump said the military is considering strong options and he might act before any meeting amid Iran protests where activists said at least 544 were killed and over 10,600 arrested.
- Triggered by economic anger, the protests began over the economy and have grown since December 28 into a wider movement threatening Iran's clerical rulers, with Reza Pahlavi welcoming international attention.
- Trump warned that `If they do that, we will hit them at levels that they’ve never been hit before, and they won’t even believe it,` and said `they're starting to` cross a red line.
- Tehran contacted Washington seeking talks, and Abbas Araghchi said protests 'turned violent and bloody to give an excuse' but the situation 'has come under total control' while blaming Israel and the U.S.
- Trump's past actions give his warnings added weight, noting his 2025 strikes on Iran's nuclear sites and his plan to call Elon Musk soon to restore internet access.
