Trump Keeps ‘All Options On The Table’ Except Actual Decision
KEY POINTS
- •President Trump stated on January 10, 2026, that all options to support Iranian protests were being considered but no decisions were finalized.
- •Massive protests in Iran continued despite internet blackouts, with reports suggesting the death toll could be in the thousands.
- •U.S. and Israeli officials discussed the situation, emphasizing non-kinetic options like cyberattacks and military presence without direct strikes.
As Iran’s protests raged for the third straight night—yes, internet blackout and all—President Trump showcased his trademark decisiveness by considering every option imaginable without picking a single one. On January 10, 2026, two anonymous U.S. officials spilled that military strikes are on ‘the table’ but mostly ‘not kinetic,’ which translates to a digital finger wag or carrier group photo op. Death tallies wildly vary: Iranian Iran International TV says 2,000 protesters down, Israeli officials eye over 1,000, HRANA manages a cautious 116, and a U.S. source just cries 'high.' Trump tweeted grandly about ‘Freedom’ and ‘USA stands ready to help!!!’ Meanwhile, Iran blames the usual suspects—Trump and Israel—calling protesters ‘imported rioters.’ Amid all this, Secretary Rubio and Netanyahu chatted ‘routine’ stuff about Gaza, Syria, and everything but actual solutions, while Tehran did some quick ‘serious reassessment’ like realizing their security forces might be looking sideways at them. Spoiler: no imminent collapse, just classic geopolitical cliffhanger energy.

Trump’s foreign policy now involves keeping all options open except actual follow-through—think phone on silent, carrier selfies, and cyber ninja dust-offs.
Iran protests? America’s plan is apparently to announce, threaten, then casually pivot like it’s a mid-budget reality show plot twist.
Death tolls range from ‘high’ to ‘hey, 2,000!’, because the Tehran blackout has the facts playing hide and seek.
