Cryptic White House message fuels pressure on Tehran, backing Iranian freedom and curbing regime threats to Israel.
Amid intensifying tensions with Iran and mounting speculation over possible US action, the White House issued a stark, cryptic message on Sunday, hinting that Washington’s response to Tehran’s brutality may be entering a new phase.
The post featured President Donald Trump standing alongside American troops, accompanied by a declaration praising US forces and asserting that the administration is “just getting started.” The message was widely interpreted as a warning to Iran’s rulers as unrest spreads across the Islamic Republic.
According to Axios, Trump is actively reviewing a range of options to support the Iranian people and intensify pressure on the regime. Internal discussions are reportedly accelerating as protests expand nationwide and reports of mass casualties continue to emerge despite a sweeping communications blackout.
Trump has publicly warned that large-scale killings of protesters would not go unanswered, signaling that military force remains on the table. Separate reports indicate the president has recently been briefed on multiple strike scenarios as he weighs a decisive response to Tehran’s violent suppression of demonstrations driven by deep economic collapse and popular rage.
US officials say no final decision has been made, but preparations and strategic planning are underway. Military commanders have advised that additional time may be required to ensure operational readiness should action be authorized.
Israeli security circles view Washington’s posture as a critical deterrent to a regime that fuels regional terror, threatens Israel openly, and now turns its weapons inward against its own people. As the ayatollahs lose control at home, pressure from abroad is increasingly seen as the force that could finally bring Iran’s long nightmare to an end.
