Israël : Défense au Moyen-Orient

US President Donald Trump is weighing options against Iran that include targeted strikes on security forces and leaders to inspire protesters, multiple sources say, even as Israeli and Arab officials say air power alone will not topple the clerical rulers.

Two US sources familiar with the discussions say Trump wants to create conditions for “regime change” after a crackdown crushed a nationwide protest movement earlier this month, killing thousands of people.

To do so, he is looking at options to hit commanders and institutions Washington holds responsible for the violence, to give protesters the confidence that they could overrun government and security buildings, they say.
