According to this report, although Trump has not yet made a final decision; consultations on this matter continue at the highest levels of the U.S. government.


According to senior American officials, a number of the proposed options directly target Iran's security institutions; institutions that, they say, play a central role in suppressing domestic protests and employing violence.


At the same time, these officials have warned of the unintended consequences of any military action. In their view, a potential attack should not lead to strengthening domestic support for the Iranian regime or the initiation of retaliatory responses; responses that could endanger the lives of American military personnel and diplomats in the region.


In this regard, a senior U.S. military official has stated that regional commanders need more time before any potential action to bolster U.S. defensive positions and prepare for possible Iranian counterattacks.


The New York Times writes that American officials emphasize that any military decision must strike a balance between fulfilling Trump's promise to punish the Iranian regime and preventing the escalation of the crisis and further instability in the region.

The New York Times, in a report citing American officials, has written that Donald Trump, President of the United States, has been presented with a series of military options against the Islamic Republic of Iran and is seriously considering the possibility of issuing authorization for an attack.
