President Trump thanks Iran for stopping mass executions and signals a step back from earlier suggestions of possible U.S. military action as protests continue.

Top Trump administration officials met Tuesday to further refine a set of options for the president to take action against Iran amid its deadly crackdown on protesters.

Speaking by phone to NBC News, Trump didn't say whether he has decided to take action on Iran following previous threats of military intervention over a crackdown on protesters.

More than 2,500 people have died during nationwide protests in Iran over the past 17 days, activists said Wednesday.

Emerging on Tuesday from a late-night Situation Room meeting to discuss options for striking Iran, some of President Donald Trump’s top national security officials were relatively sure a decision on military action was close at hand.

There were growing signs that US military action on Iran might be imminent, then the US president suddenly changed his tune.

Trump now confronts a fateful choice. He can make good on his promise and risk the always-unpredictable consequences of military action, or he can face the shame of having given false encouragement to freedom fighters and emboldened one of America’s fiercest adversaries.

A video on X is going viral where a person claims that President Donald Trump's ‘bounty has risen’ to $40 million, sparking worries amid US-Iran tensions.
