Trump Briefed on Military and Covert Options Regarding the Iranian Regime’s Actions Against its Own Citizens

Amid ongoing protests against the oppressive Iranian regime, reports indicate that at least 2,000 people have lost their lives. Will the U.S. respond, as President Donald Trump mulls a “very strong” response and is briefed on military strike options in Iran?

The protests stem from extreme economic difficulties, such as hyperinflation, a collapsing currency, and soaring prices for basic necessities. However, they have expanded into widespread protests against the government, calling for regime change. Fundamentally, the people of Iran desire liberation from corruption, poor governance, and political oppression. They desire freedom.

The Gateway Pundit spoke to Dr. Chase Spears,  a retired U.S. Army public affairs officer, writer and host of the Finding Your Spine podcast. He remarked on the incredible sight of the Iranian people rising up against a “well-armed, tyrannical government” that has repeatedly shown its contempt for innocent lives. “They’re offering a reminder that even in the darkest times and places, there is always a glimmer of hope and a remnant of courageous people.”

For decades, he said, the extremist Islamist regime has been the primary catalyst for “churning out evil and brutality” throughout the Middle East. He contends that “overthrowing it would be the single biggest contribution to peace in our age.”

“An Iran freed of the ayatollah’s fist would shut down the terror machine that has plagued the world from Tehran for the entirety of my lifetime,” he argued. “A free Iran makes the entire world safer.”

Currently, President Donald Trump has implemented a 25 percent tariff on products from any country engaging in trade with Iran. He has also urged American citizens to exit Iran immediately as protests escalate and the death toll increases.

Additionally, sources say he is strongly considering military options while the Israel Defense Forces are on heightened “alert for surprises.”

In response, Iran’s parliamentary speaker cautioned on Saturday that the nation may launch preemptive strikes on Israel and U.S. military bases should it perceive indications of an imminent attack.

But how legitimate is this threat from their parliamentary speaker? “Iran has proven incapable of meaningful retaliatory strikes against the U.S.,” Dr. Spears pointed out.

Typically, he is “very cautious” regarding the deployment of U.S. military force in the matters of other countries, having witnessed the consequences of that approach in Iraq and Afghanistan. “But things are different in this case,” he observed. “The rightful monarch is ready to return and reestablish a government that would be recognized as legitimate by the Iranian people.”

He expressed his satisfaction upon learning that President Trump is exploring measures to drive the Iranian regime to a breaking point leading to its downfall. “This could be the once in a lifetime opportunity for the U.S. to use military options for purposes that history honors,” he argued.

Should President Trump call upon the U.S. military, “a basic principle of warfare is to give the enemy multiple dilemmas to solve at once,” said Dr. Spears. “If ever there was an ideal time for the U.S. military to add to the list of dilemmas that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps must solve,” he said, “it’s now.

“As Americans we like to say that we stand with people seeking freedom,” Dr. Spears noted. “We now have a small window in which to demonstrate it in a way that will break up hostile alliances and make the entire world safer.” He prays for the successful removal of the extremist Islamist regime that has troubled the world for far too long.

President Trump: Just in: GREAT JOBS NUMBERS, FAR GREATER THAN EXPECTED! The United States of America should be paying MUCH LESS on its Borrowings (BONDS!). We are again the strongest Country in the World, and should therefore be paying the LOWEST INTEREST RATE, by far. This would be an INTEREST COST SAVINGS OF AT LEAST ONE TRILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR – BALANCED BUDGET, PLUS. WOW! The Golden Age of America is upon us!!! President DJT

From the president’s Truth Social account:
Tweet by Donald Trump discussing US job numbers, borrowing costs, interest rates, and a balanced budget, emphasizing America's strength and economic potential.

Even CNN was forced to share the good economic news.

A diverse group of lawmakers engaged in a congressional hearing, with individuals focused on their devices and discussions in a formal setting.

Democrat Rep. Jerrold Nadler (NY) had to be woken up by a staffer on Wednesday morning during a congressional hearing.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi testified at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Epstein files, fatal shootings of two anti-ICE agitators and more.

Nadler fell asleep just minutes into Wednesday’s hearing.

A staffer walked over to Nadler and woke him up.

WATCH:

Later on during the hearing, Nadler and Bondi got into a shouting match over Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirators.

“How many [co-conspirators] have you indicted?” Nadler asked Bondi.

“Excuse me! I’m going to answer!” Bondi said.

“Answer my question!” Nadler demanded.

“I’m gonna answer the question the way I want to answer the question. Your theatrics are ridiculous,” Bondi said.

“Chairman Jordan, I’m not gonna get into the gutter with these people,” Bondi said.

Bondi and Nadler continued to talk over each other until Chairman Jim Jordan intervened.

According to the Tumbler Ridge Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), a mass shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia left nine dead and at least 25 more injured.

According to police, the sole suspect, described as a “gunperson’ wearing a dress, was found dead inside the school from “a self-inflicted injury.”

Per CNN:

Police found six people dead and dozens injured when they arrived at the high school in Tumbler Ridge, a town of just 2,400 people in northeast British Columbia, early on Tuesday afternoon. Another person died en route to hospital, police said.

The alleged shooter, who was found dead at the school with a self-inflicted injury, is believed to have killed two more people, whose bodies were discovered at a home in the township

Two victims were airlifted from the school to hospital with serious or life-threatening injuries. And about 25 other people were also being treated at a local medical center, police said.

Fox News reported that Superintendent Ken Floyd, North District Commander, said in a statement,  “This was a rapidly evolving and dynamic situation, and the swift cooperation from the school, first responders, and the community played a critical role in our response.”

“Our thoughts are with the families, loved ones, and all those impacted by this tragic incident. This has been an incredibly difficult and emotional day for our community, and we are grateful for the cooperation shown as officers continue their work to advance the investigation.”

Juno News, an independent outlet in Canada, claims to have spoken with someone connected to the suspected shooter’s family who says the suspect was trans and used “she/her” pronouns, but authorities have not confirmed the claim.

The Guardian reported that the police have identified the shooter, but didn’t publicly release their identity due to the integrity of the investigation.

The shooter’s identity, any potential connections to groups, and motivations remain under investigation.
