All options on Iran on the table, says US
The Free Press Journal - Indore
|January 17, 2026
President Donald Trump is keeping “all of his options on the table” on Iran as the White House weighs how to respond to the regime's violent crackdown on nationwide protests, even as lawmakers from both parties urged caution against US military strikes that could escalate the crisis.
-
Asked how close the president was to launching strikes and whether Gulf states had dissuaded him, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed what she called speculative reporting based on anonymous sources.
“The truth is only President Trump knows what he’s going to do and a very, very small team of advisers are read into his thinking on that,” Leavitt said, adding, the president continues to monitor developments in Iran. Trump was informed planned executions in Iran would stop, and “we have seen 800 people, their lives have been spared”.
