Top Trump administration officials met Tuesday to further refine a set of options for the president to take action against Iran amid its deadly crackdown on protesters.

The United States is withdrawing some personnel from bases in the Middle East, a U.S. official said on Wednesday, after a senior Iranian official said Tehran had warned neighbours it would hit American bases if Washington strikes.

The president has told his advisers he would want any action to deliver a decisive blow to the Iranian regime, but so far he hasn't gotten that guarantee from them, sources say.

President Trump expressed uncertainty over whether Iranian opposition figure Reza Pahlavi would be able to muster support in Iran to eventually take over.

Iranian state TV warned that “the bullet won’t miss” in a new broadcast referencing Trump's 2024 assassination attempt.

Trump voters talk about how they feel about Trump's actions with Venezuela and potential action in Iran and Greenland.

Attacking Iran with airstrikes is "on the table" as President Donald Trump weighs military options in the country, his press secretary said.

Pahlavi, 65, is the exiled son of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi of Iran, who was ousted in the 1979 Islamic Revolution that ushered in the Islamic Republic. His name has been a rallying call for protests that started on December 28 and have been met by a violent crackdown that rights groups say has killed thousands.

On Tuesday afternoon, Trump announced he had canceled “all meetings with Iranian officials until the senseless killing of protesters stops.” He urged Iranian “patriots” to keep protesting and vowed that Iran will “pay a big price” for its actions. “Help is on its way. MIGA [Make Iran Great Again],” he wrote.
