More than 544 people were reported killed and over 10,000 arrested in protests across 585 locations in Iran over two weeks, while Israeli intelligence indicates over 1,000 deaths. President Trump said he receives hourly reports and noted some protesters died in a stampede and others were shot. A national security meeting is planned to consider options to support the protests and weaken the Iranian regime. U.S. officials are prioritizing non-kinetic measures such as deterrent deployments, cyberattacks, and information operations, though military action remains under consideration. Iranian officials threatened to target U.S. assets.
