Trump’s plans for attacking Iran are revealed including large-scale aerial strikes on multiple military targets… as president says America is ‘ready to help’ after night of bloodshed
President Donald Trump has revealed his plans to retaliate against Iran after more than 50 protestors were killed despite the president’s dire warnings.
Trump posted on Truth Social on Saturday that the US is ‘ready to help’ Iranians.
‘Iran is looking for FREEDOM, perhaps like never before. The USA stands ready to help!!!,’ Trump posted on Truth Social at 1.27pm.
US Officials revealed to the Wall Street Journal that the Trump administration has had preliminary discussions on executing an attack against Iran.
The administration reportedly discussed a large-scale aerial strike on multiple military targets.
While several options have been mentioned, officials warned they are a part of normal military planning.
One official told the Journal that no military equipment or personnel have been moved and there are no signs of an imminent attack on the regime.
This comes after Trump said on Friday it looked as if Iran’s leaders were ‘in big trouble’ and repeated his earlier threat of military strikes if peaceful protesters are killed.

‘It looks to me that the people are taking over certain cities that nobody thought were really possible just a few weeks ago,’ Trump said.
And speaking on Air Force One earlier this week, he told journalists: ‘We’re watching it very closely. If they start killing people like they have in the past, I think they’re going to get hit very hard by the United States.’
The death toll rose drastically overnight with Iranian rights group HRANA reporting 65 deaths, including 50 protesters and 15 security personnel as of January 9.
Earlier Saturday, Trump reshared an X post from South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham on the ongoing protests in the Middle East.
‘This is truly not the Obama administration when it comes to standing up to the Iranian ayatollah and his religious Nazi henchmen, and standing behind the people of Iran protesting for a better life,’ he wrote, in part.
‘To the regime leadership: your brutality against the great people of Iran will not go unchallenged. Make Iran Great Again.’
A total of 65 deaths were reported overnight, including 50 protestors and 15 security personnel
Trump also expressed support for the Venezuelan people on Saturday afternoon, one week after the country captured and imprisoned President Nicolas Maduro.
‘I love the Venezuelan people, and am already making Venezuela rich and safe again,’ Trump posted.
‘Congratulations and thank you to all of those people who are making this possible!!!’
