Trump's Iran options: limited air strikes and leadership targets on the table

The article outlines potential U.S. options if Trump decides to intervene in Iran amid protests, focusing on limited air strikes and possible leadership-targeted actions rather than a full-scale invasion. It cites Trump’s posts promising help for Iranian protesters and White House signals that diplomacy remains primary but force is on the table. It notes a reduced U.S. regional footprint, with forces moved away from the Mediterranean and toward the Caribbean, while Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar remains a key hub and defenses are adjusted. Experts say a ground invasion is unlikely and decapitating Iran’s leadership would risk strong Iranian retaliation and a dangerous power vacuum.

Netanyahu Accuses Hizbollah of Ceasefire Breach Post Israeli Strikes

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hizbollah of violating a US-brokered ceasefire after the militant group fired rockets at an Israeli position, prompting Israeli air strikes in Lebanon. The ceasefire, which began last Wednesday, is under strain as both sides accuse each other of breaches. The agreement requires Israeli forces to withdraw from Lebanon and Hizbollah to move north of the Litani river. Despite international concerns, including from the US and France, about the ceasefire's fragility, Israel insists on enforcing the deal unilaterally if necessary.
