Air Strikes Against Iran on the Table: Trump Administration Issues Stern Warning
Washington: US President Donald Trump has adopted a hardline stance against the ongoing violence and killings of protesters in Iran. The White House has made it clear that it is considering all military options, including air strikes, to halt the bloodshed against innocent people in Iran.
Key Points: Trump’s Strategy
Red Line Crossed: According to President Trump, the massacre of protesters on Tehran’s streets has crossed all boundaries. He delivered a clear message that America will not tolerate such violence.
Diplomacy vs. Military Action: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that while diplomacy remains Trump’s top priority, as “Commander-in-Chief,” he can decide on tough military action at any moment.
Dual Approach: Iran has shown a positive stance in private talks with Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff, but the violence on the ground remains a major concern for the US.
Current Situation
Despite an internet blackout in Iran, reports from human rights organizations indicate a rising death toll. Iranian leadership has kept channels open with the US, but the Trump administration insists it won’t rule out action before any meetings.
In Essence: The US believes private diplomatic talks have their place, but the bloodshed on the streets must stop immediately.
