NYT: Trump Told Iranian Regime is More Vulnerable Than Ever – US Tightens Grip

The New York Times revealed details of recent reports received by US President Donald Trump regarding Iran, indicating the timing of a potential military strike by Washington against Tehran. According to the American newspaper, Trump received multiple updates from US intelligence agencies, suggesting that the power of the Iranian government is at its lowest point since the 1979 revolution that overthrew the Shah. The reports indicate that the protests that erupted late last year “shook the foundations of the Iranian government,” especially as they spread to areas considered strongholds of support for Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Despite the decline in protests, the government remains in a precarious position, as information confirmed that the Iranian economy is suffering from historic weakness. The US military is significantly strengthening its presence in the region, sending an aircraft carrier and additional aircraft, preparing for potential military action against Iran. The Pentagon has increased the level of alert and is in consultations with allies.
