What Will Trump Do About Iran? The World Holds Its Breath

The international community is watching developments in Iran with anxiety, as Washington considers potential military options. Iran has imposed a complete blackout, making it difficult to verify information, which is coming primarily from human rights organizations. The US has begun removing troops from Qatar, Britain has closed its embassy in Tehran, and many airlines have canceled flights. Donald Trump stated he had received information that executions had stopped, but left the possibility of military intervention open. The situation is complicated by the fact that some US military equipment has been moved to the Caribbean. Washington is seeking answers to whether it should overthrow the regime, destroy its repressive apparatus, or force it to back down on the nuclear issue. Iran's experience in dealing with interventions and the country's complexity make a regime change particularly difficult.
