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.
