DUBAI, January 29 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump is considering multiple options to counter Iran, including targeted strikes against security forces and leadership, with the aim of fueling protests against the government, according to sources.
Sources say Trump wants to facilitate a “regime change” after the Iranian government violently suppressed nationwide protests earlier this month, resulting in thousands of deaths. The options under consideration include attacking commanders and facilities believed by Washington to be responsible for violence, as well as the possibility of large-scale strikes against Iran’s nuclear or ballistic missile programs.
The deployment of aircraft carriers and warships to the Middle East by the U.S. has significantly expanded military intervention capabilities. However, many Arab and Western officials fear that airstrikes could weaken the protest movement rather than promote it. Iran has declared its readiness to engage in dialogue but warned it will respond strongly if attacked.
