Trump Briefed on Intelligence Saying Iran’s Government Is Weaker
AI Summary
President Trump has been briefed on U.S. intelligence reports indicating the Iranian government's hold on power is at its weakest since the 1979 revolution. Protests that began in late 2025 shook the government, particularly in areas thought to be strongholds of support for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. These protests, coupled with Iran's historically weak economy, have placed the government in a precarious position. While the U.S. military has increased its regional presence, the Trump administration's next steps are unclear, although Trump previously threatened strikes against Iran. The White House stated that Trump is closely monitoring the situation in Iran.
