Will Trump Really Act Against the Iranian Regime?
As violent protests sweep across Iran’s most impoverished neighborhoods, President Trump has issued a stark warning to Tehran’s regime: kill protesters and face American military action. The question now gripping national security circles is whether Trump means it — and what form any American intervention might take.
The timing of Mr. Trump’s threat comes as Iran faces its most severe domestic crisis in years, with demonstrations erupting in impoverished cities from Khuzestan Province in the southwest to the streets of Tehran, Tabriz, and Isfahan.
At least 40 people have been killed with dozens more injured in the regime’s crackdown. So, is Trump likely to act? Or is it empty rhetoric?
