Trump to Be Briefed on Range of Iran Options

President Trump will be briefed on Tuesday on “some kinetic and many non-kinetic” options in Iran, Politico reports.

“All eyes are on the president’s next moves after he threatened to strike the Iranian regime if it killed civilian protesters. Reports on Sunday indicated hundreds of Iranians have died during the current unrest, though information is limited.”

“The options being presented to Trump would range from targeted strikes inside Iran to offensive cyber attacks, one official granted anonymity to discuss ongoing conversations said, adding that the administration would want to avoid options that create massive civilian impact so things that can be tailored to targeting Iran’s military forces are preferable. The administration is also looking at whether it can send terminals for Elon Musk’s satellite-based internet service.”
