Trump threatens unprecedented strikes if Iran targets US sites

US President Donald Trump warned that the United States would carry out unprecedented strikes against Iran if Tehran attacks US military or commercial sites.

“If they do that, we will hit them at levels that they have never been hit before, and they won’t even believe it. I have options, and they are so strong,” Trump told reporters on Friday.

Trump to meet senior officials Tuesday to discuss Iran action
US President Donald Trump is set to meet with senior administration officials on Tuesday to evaluate potential actions against Iran amid ongoing armed riots in the country, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal citing government sources.
Cyberattacks, sanctions, and strikes on the table
The planned meeting is expected to include Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine. The report suggests that possible responses being considered include covert cyberattacks on Iranian military and civilian infrastructure, additional sanctions, and limited military strikes.

While no final decisions are expected during Tuesday’s talks, the White House is reportedly weighing options as Iran faces intensified anti-government protests.

Iran’s president accuses US of inciting chaos
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has accused the United States of actively inciting unrest in the Islamic Republic, emphasizing that the Iranian people remain more united than ever in support of their homeland and political system.

Speaking during a meeting in Tehran on Saturday with Omani Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi, Pezeshkian said the US was “fueling chaos and disorder,” but noted that such efforts would fail to undermine national cohesion.

“The United States is inciting chaos and unrest, while the Iranian people are more united than ever and will continue to support their nation and system,” Pezeshkian stated.

Iran has witnessed waves of armed riots since the beginning of the year, marked by attacks on public property and religious sites, and the martyrdom of several members of the police and Basij forces.

The riots coincided with escalating clashes between security forces and separatist movements in the western provinces, which resulted in the deaths of multiple members of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps. These developments followed public threats by Trump, who claimed he might intervene in Iranian affairs under the pretext of “protecting protesters and the Iranian people.”
