U.S. Monitoring Iran's Response to Protests Amid Rising Tensions

On Thursday, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing U.S. officials, that President Donald Trump is closely monitoring how Iranian authorities are responding to protests before deciding on any potential military action.

Reports indicate that Trump has received advice from some of his advisors suggesting that an attack on Iran is unlikely to lead to the regime's collapse. Nonetheless, he has requested the preparation of military options in anticipation of a possible decision to strike.

Additionally, the White House confirmed that only Trump is privy to his plans regarding Iran, noting that a very small team of advisors is aware of his thoughts on the matter.

In a separate context, the White House announced that the U.S. will continue technical discussions concerning the acquisition of Greenland, a topic that has sparked significant debate in recent years.

Moreover, the report indicated that Trump has been briefed on the need for increased military presence in the region should he opt for a broad attack against Iran, underscoring the seriousness of U.S. preparations amid escalating tensions.
