TL;DR Summary
Amid massive anti-government protests in Iran and a brutal crackdown, Trump weighs potential U.S. strikes but faces questions about whether intervention would help protesters, achieve strategic aims, or merely create new problems. The debate echoes past cases like Syria and Libya, with critics warning against limited or misguided action and a new Quinnipiac poll showing majority opposition to military action; allies urge restraint, leaving the decision uncertain and closely tied to credibility and risk of blowback.
