Trump weighs strikes on Iran's leadership and nuclear sites as diplomacy collapses

President Donald Trump is seriously weighing a massive military offensive against Iran after back-channel negotiations over the country's nuclear program and ballistic missiles hit a dead end, sources confirmed to CNN.

The dramatic report comes after Trump considered military action framed as support for anti-regime protesters facing brutal government crackdowns, including mass executions.

On Wednesday, Trump took to Truth Social with an ultimatum, demanding Iran negotiate a "fair and equitable deal – NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS.” He ominously warned the next US attack would be "far worse" than his summer strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities.

Trump is reportedly considering multiple options: airstrikes targeting Iran's leadership and security officials responsible for protest deaths, plus strikes on nuclear sites and government institutions. While no final decision has been made, the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group's arrival in the Indian Ocean has expanded Trump's military menu.

Diplomatic efforts collapsed spectacularly. Initial discussions showed promise, but an in-person meeting never materialized, according to the report, as the two came to an impasse over Iran's refusal to limit its ballistic missile range.

US intelligence briefings indicate Iran's regime is historically weakened following military strikes and mass protests. Trump has publicly fantasized at seeking regime change, telling Politico: "It’s time to look for new leadership in Iran."

Finding and striking Ayatollah Khamenei remains a tall order. Israel couldn't locate him in June despite intensive efforts.

That personality came out last week during our Zoom call when I mentioned for the first time that I’m a Chicago Cubs fan. He responded to the mention of my fandom, “So far, I don’t think this interview is going very well.” Yet, Wainwright will return to Busch Stadium on September 19 on a more serious note, this time to honor another former Cardinal and friend, the late Darryl Kile. Wainwright will take the mound not as a starting pitcher, but to throw out the game’s ceremonial first pitch. Joining him on the mound will be Kile’s daughter, Sierra, as the two help launch a new program called Playing with Heart. “Darryl’s passing was a reminder that heart disease doesn’t discriminate, even against elite athletes in peak physical shape,” Wainwright said. “This program is about helping people recognize the risks, take action, and hopefully save lives.” Wainwright, who played for the St. Louis Cardinals as a starting pitcher from 2005 to 2023, aims to merge the essence of baseball tradition with a crucial message about heart health. Kile, a beloved pitcher for the Cardinals, tragically passed away in 2002 at the age of 33 as a result of early-onset heart disease. His sudden death shook the baseball world and left a lasting impact on teammates, fans, and especially his family. Now, more than two decades later, Sierra Kile is stepping forward with Wainwright to…
