Trump Briefed on Iran Military Options as Protest Deaths Mount

President Donald Trump was briefed on a wide range of possible military actions against Iran late Monday, according to sources who spoke to CBS News. The briefing comes as international humanitarian groups warn that the death toll from ongoing protests inside Iran has risen into the hundreds. CBS News senior White House correspondent Weijia Jiang first reported the development. Middle East expert Samuel Katz will provide further analysis. The sources did not specify which options were presented or if the President made any decisions. The briefing indicates the U.S. is formally considering a military response to the escalating crisis. The protests in Iran began over economic issues but have grown into a broader challenge to the country's leadership.
