On January 11, 2026, President Donald Trump announced that he is considering a range of responses to the escalating unrest in Iran, where massive protests have been ongoing. The situation has reportedly led to more than 500 deaths, as documented by rights groups. The potential for military intervention has raised concerns among some U.S. senators, who express skepticism regarding such options. Meanwhile, Iran has issued warnings of retaliation against any attacks from the United States. The unrest in Iran has also prompted demonstrations in other locations, including a recent incident in Los Angeles where a truck drove into a crowd supporting Iranian protesters.
