There is now a strong likelihood that US President Donald Trump will order air strikes against Iran.
In some ways, Trump has backed himself into a corner, declaring defiantly that should the Iranian regime open fire on its own people, then the US would take action against the regime.
He's told protesters that help is on its way. What help? And when?
The regime has done exactly what Trump warned against. While an information blackout has made it difficult to assess the exact extent of the death toll, it is clear that hundreds, if not thousands, of Iranian protesters have been killed by the country's security forces.
So what are Trump's military options?
At this stage, the one that's most likely is air strikes on military bases and warehouses controlled by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its civilian enforcers, the Basij militia.
The Basij will be a possible target for the US as they are vital in trying to put down these protests. The Basij are volunteers who answer to the IRGC. Many workplaces have Basij members — often their colleagues may not even know for sure that they are Basij, even if they have suspicions.
A member of the Basij receives many benefits — such as prized jobs or places in universities for which they would not otherwise have qualified.
But there is one condition: the IRGC can call upon them at any point to do whatever is required to "protect the Islamic Revolution".

Hmmm. Seems pretty light.
Hey, at least it’s clearly marked “Analysis” at the site. Unlike a lot of what is passed off as “news” on UK and Aussie sites.
I kinda hope it’s true, too. Love to see the mooselimbs in Iran taken out.
If Trump moves, it’s an indication that the end is all but certain. He wouldn’t waste the military if there wasn’t an almost certainty that he could get rid of the government.
How about Minneadishu?
Is this President Trump’s choice to make?
Why not decapitation strikes?
Trump has played it about right.
The Iranians needed to show they understand their own blood and sacrifice was necessary to bring about change.
The Persians are NOT the Afghans and expect foreigners to do the heavy lifting.
Some strategic help with Israeli assistance is fine if it is necessary to close the deal.
My father arrived in Rome a week after Mussolini was hung upside down in the streets and his dead body stabbed and spit on.
If that is the ayatollahs fate, so be it.
What do you think?
Send in the bunker busters to get the eyeofthetoilet!
DJT's new buddy, Erdogan, has warned him not to interfere in Iran.
Consider the Strait of Hormuz.
So, first, sink their Navy...
He needs to order the military option on Minnesota, right now.
,,, still to hear any comment from the UN on the slaughter of Iran’s people by it’s own government.
Unless the entire civilian and military leadership are killed, it will only extend the suffering of the Iranian people.
