Trump ponders several options regarding strikes on Iran - report

U.S. President Donald Trump ponders several options of delivering another strike against Iran, the New York Times daily reported citing its sources.

"President Trump has been briefed in recent days on new options for military strikes in Iran as he considers following through on his threat to attack the country for cracking down on protesters," The New York Times reported .

According to the daily, Trump has not made a final decision, but the officials said he was seriously considering authorizing a strike in response to the Iranian regime’s efforts to suppress demonstrations set off by widespread economic grievances.

The U.S. leader announced earlier that his country could deliver a strong blow against the Islamic Republic's leadership if necessary. He made a statement in response to a reporter's question whether the United States was prepared to use force in the event of possible deaths among Iranian protesters.
