This week, Trump announced that US military ships were “on their way” to Iran, but did not detail the purpose of the operation. This Friday, US government sources interviewed by the Reuters news agency stated that the US president is considering carrying out air strikes on strategic military and government points in Iran. The objective, according to Reuters sources, would be to re-incite the protests that have grown in the country since December, but which were partially demobilized due to the strong repression by Iranian forces — NGOs speak of more than 6 thousand deaths. The plan, says the agency, is for the protesters themselves to invade public buildings targeted by the US and overthrow the Ayatollah regime, which has ruled Iran since the end of the 1970s.
