Trump weighs Iran strikes as Israel on alert
Hindustan Times Chandigarh
|January 12, 2026
US President Donald Trump has been briefed on a range of military options targeting Iran as Israel remains on high alert following a phone call in which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio discussed the possibility of US intervention in the country, with Iran’s protest death toll climbing to at least 538, according to US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency, ANI, Reuters, AP and The NYT reported.
Trump is scheduled to be briefed again on Tuesday on specific options to respond to the protests in Iran, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing US officials. The meeting will be a discussion about possible next steps including military strikes, deploying secretive cyber weapons against Iranian military and civilian sites, placing more sanctions on Iran’s government and boosting anti-government sources online, the Journal reported.
The NYT and WSJ, citing anonymous US officials, said on Saturday night that Trump had not made a final decision.
Inside Iran, President Masoud Pezeshkian struck a harder tone even as he claimed officials were willing to listen to public grievances. “People have concerns, we should sit with them and if it is our duty, we should resolve their concerns,” Pezeshkian said.
