A national security expert said President Donald Trump<\/a> may already be prepared to act against Iran, suggesting a widely reported upcoming briefing on U.S. options could be intentional “deception” as deadly protests intensify in the country.<\/p>\n

“President Trump definitely already has options in mind, and he has been regularly briefed by the military about the situation [in Iran<\/a>],” Rebeccah Heinrichs, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, said Monday on “Fox & Friends.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This briefing that’s supposed to happen tomorrow might, in fact, be part of a deception campaign. It would not surprise me if President Trump initiated some kind of U.S. activity to support the protesters before that briefing.”<\/p>\n

IRAN\u2019S \u2018DISTINCTIVE\u2019 DRONE DEPLOYMENT SEES DEATH TOLL SOAR AMID VIOLENT PROTESTS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Trump is set to speak with Secretary of State Marco Rubio<\/a>, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine as human rights groups report the Iranian regime has already killed more than 500 protesters.<\/p>\n

IRAN REGIME SAID TO UNLEASH HEZBOLLAH AND IRAQI MILITIAS AS UPRISING SPREADS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Widespread civil unrest in Iran began amid economic hardship as the theocracy’s currency plunged to historic lows and has been fueled by dissatisfaction with political repression, corruption and clerical leadership.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The government’s response has been severe, including internet blackouts, mass arrests and the use of deadly force.<\/p>\n

Heinrichs laid out some options available to Trump, such as cyberattacks, military strikes<\/a> and deploying Starlink satellite internet to allow civilians to communicate.<\/p>\n

Asked if Iran had crossed Trump’s “red line”<\/a> to trigger a response, the president replied, “They’re starting to.”<\/p>\n

“We’re looking at it very seriously. The military is looking at it, and we’re looking at some very strong options,” Trump said to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ll make a determination.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
