Decapitating the Iranian regime is on the table as America’s military leaders present options to President Trump, according to a new report.
A report fromReuterssaid planners have created options that target individuals and could go as wide as regime change. The report cited sources it did not name.
The report included an interpretation of the options as “the latest signs that the United States is preparing for a serious conflict with Iran should diplomatic efforts fail.”
The report comes as some media accounts of what’s taking place in the Trump White House suggest an attack could take place as soon as this weekend, according toUSA Today.
Conversely, if talks that appear to be going nowhere break free from the mire of Iranian intransigence, an attack might never take place. The sticking point is Trump’s insistence that Iran divest itself of any enriched uranium that it could use to make a nuclear bomb, even if that eventuality was years down the road.
In recent days, the thought that the U.S. might lob a few missiles at Iran as a hint that Trump’s patience was wearing thin has been tossed about.

“I guess I am considering that,” Trump said when asked about the idea on Friday.
On Friday, Trump also claimed that last month, in its crackdown on anti-government protests, Iran killed 32,000 people, according toCBS News. The number is far higher than official estimates. Trump had warned Iran that if protesters were killed in large numbers. He would respond militarily.
