Trump ‘Could Kill Ayatollah’s Son to Topple Iranian Regime’
The US considers a targeted strike on Iran's leadership to pressure nuclear deal compliance; over one-third of the US navy deployed to the region, officials said.
- Considering a limited strike, the president has been presented with a decapitation campaign targeting Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his son Mojtaba Khamenei, Axios reported.
- Earlier this week, US forces began repositioning, dispatching more than one-third of the US navy and assembling the largest air power since 2003, while the USS Gerald Ford entered the Mediterranean and will arrive within 10 to 15 days.
- The White House's openness to Iran continuing scaled-back enrichment could create room for a deal, though it is unclear how 'token' nuclear enrichment would be defined or supervised, and Iran has a weak track record with UN nuclear inspectors.
- Israel's government is preparing for possible joint military action with the US, two Israeli officials warned the gaps with Tehran appear unbridgeable, and oil-producing Gulf countries brace for confrontation.
- Amid domestic unrest in Iran, thousands of demonstrators were killed in Tehran, and at least 20 anti-regime protests were held on Friday during the 40-day mourning period.
