Trump suddenly lowers the tone: The Iranian government is no longer cracking down on protesters
After so much commotion, is Trump no longer preparing to attack Iran?
According to a report by The Washington Post, on the 14th, Trump suddenly reduced the threat tone towards Iran, stating that he had been assured that the "brutal suppression" of protesters by the Iranian government had stopped, and the United States is weighing military options.
Trump's sudden change in stance is confusing, as at the same time he was easing his tone towards Iran, the transfer of U.S. troops in the Middle East did not stop, so even The Washington Post directly raised a question in its report: "This is puzzling, that after multiple threats, will Trump still launch a military strike against Iran?"
If considering the abnormal takeoffs of U.S. military aircraft from Al-Udeid Base recently, which are suspected to be conducting intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions around Iran, it is not excluded that Trump's statement is just a temporary tactic, intended to lull Iran's vigilance and gain time for a potential sudden attack later.
If the U.S. military continues with its current pace, Trump is likely to find an excuse soon to escalate his threatening rhetoric toward Iran again, or even directly order air strikes, since Trump has repeatedly proven that he often changes his mind at the last minute.
