US military strikes on Iran appeared imminent after President Donald Trump held a late-night Situation Room meeting with top aides. Sources said Trump was shaken by videos of past executions and briefed on the planned execution of 26-year-old protester Erfan Soltani. Though no decision was made, Trump urged Iranians to protest, saying “help is on its way,” raising expectations of a limited strike. A day later, he said sources claimed the killing had stopped, easing tensions. US intelligence had not confirmed this, even as evacuations began at a major US airbase. Officials say options remain on the table. #USIran #Trump #MiddleEast #GlobalPolitics
