After Venezuela, is Iran the next target? Following recent statements by US President Donald Trump and American media reports, questions are increasingly being raised about whether the US is planning military action against Iran.
According to reports in the US media, especially the Wall Street Journal, the Trump administration has begun preliminary discussions on a strategy to attack Iran if necessary.
Will America attack Iran?
The report states that no final decision has been made to attack Iran. No official plans for any military deployment or naval or air force movements have been revealed yet. However, these discussions come at a time when widespread protests are ongoing in Iran.
Rebellion in Iran, Trump openly supports
People in Iran have been on the streets for some time now, protesting inflation, unemployment, and corrupt governance. Now, this movement has turned directly against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Donald Trump has consistently supported the Iranian protesters.
Trump’s direct threat
Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social: “Iran is demanding freedom, perhaps like never before. The United States stands ready to help.” This has sparked speculation about whether the US might launch a military operation against the Iranian government. However, these are just speculations for now; the Trump administration has yet to make any official announcements.
Foreign Minister Rubio also supported
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also expressed support for the Iranian protesters. Rubio said: “Hopefully, people now understand that Trump isn’t playing any games.” This statement is being seen as a stern warning to the Iranian government.
