Trump to Convene Senior Officials to Review Possible Actions on Iran

Former U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to convene a meeting of senior administration officials on Tuesday to discuss potential actions regarding Iran, according to multiple U.S. officials cited by The Jerusalem Post. The officials described the meeting as “important.”

One official said Trump wants to review final plans and proposals on what can be done to support protesters in Iran. The prevailing assessment among U.S., Israeli, and European officials is that Trump has decided to take steps to assist the protesters, with the remaining questions focused on “how” and “when.”

A U.S. official told The Washington Post that any action taken would “not necessarily be military.”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in an interview with Fox News on Monday that while Trump is not afraid to use military force, he prefers a diplomatic solution. “Airstrikes are one of the options Trump is considering for intervening in Iran,” Leavitt said, adding that the president is keeping all options on the table.

“Airstrikes are one option. The president always prefers diplomacy,” Leavitt said. “He wants to review messages from Iran, but he is prepared for anything.” She added that messages sent privately by the Iranian regime differ from those delivered publicly.

The dominant assessment among officials is that the Iranian regime is attempting to suppress protest activity within the next 24 to 48 hours.

Separately, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a security consultation on the Iran issue on Monday. In Israel, there are concerns about the possibility of dialogue between a Trump administration and Iranian officials. The protests in Iran, along with potential U.S. support, are seen by some as a development that could accelerate the collapse of the Islamic Republic.

For now, Israel has publicly refrained from commenting on developments in Tehran, effectively leaving leadership on the issue to the Trump administration.
