Is Iran too hot to handle? Is freedom a bridge too far? Can Trump, for once, do the right thing?
The American president continues his Two-Face policy, as Tehran claims to have the situation under control. They accuse Trump and Israel of inciting terrorists and threaten retaliation. Meanwhile, the brutal murder of Roubina Aminian highlights the violent repression by the Islamic Republic against its own citizens, with hundreds of young bodies being discovered.
As the bloodletting continues in the streets of Tehran and dynamic uprisings test the Iranian regime in all the major cities of the country, the American president continues to speak in riddles, sometimes declaring readiness for negotiations and sometimes openly threatening intervention in the major Asian nation.
Speaking to reporters, Donald Trump claimed that Iranian leaders have been in contact with Washington since Saturday, adding that "a meeting is being prepared, as they (Iranians) want to negotiate."
He was quick, however, to emphasize that the US "may need to take action" before any potential meeting, while again leaving open the possibility of significant strikes.
Asked if the country was considering "strong options," Trump replied, "We are looking at it very seriously. The military is looking at it, and we are looking at very strong options. We will make a decision."
It has been announced that Tuesday is the critical day, as the American president will then be briefed by his senior advisors on US options regarding the issue and may make up his mind.
During this scheduled meeting, potential next steps will be discussed, such as military attacks, the deployment of secret cyber weapons against Iranian military and civilian installations, the imposition of more sanctions on the Iranian government, and the strengthening of anti-government online resources.
"They are giving Trump a pretext."
Inside Iran, the regime continues to see American and Israeli involvement behind the uprising, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi going on the offensive against the White House, accusing Donald Trump of inciting "terrorists" to target protesters and the country's security forces to provoke foreign intervention.
He maintained that the violence escalated over the weekend, but that the situation is now under complete control, adding that the internet would be restored in the country soon.
"We are ready for war, but also for dialogue," he commented.
The Story of Roubina Aminian
Anti-government protests in Iran were drowned in blood by government forces, with reports indicating over 500 dead.
Among the victims is 23-year-old Roubina Aminian, who was cold-bloodedly murdered with a bullet to the head during the demonstrations.
As announced by the Norway-based human rights organization "Iran Human Rights," the 23-year-old fashion design student of Kurdish descent at Tehran's "Shariati College" was murdered on the evening of Thursday, January 8, after leaving her college and wishing to join the protesters who have been demonstrating for over two weeks against Iran's theocratic regime.
Sources close to the 23-year-old's family told "Iran Human Rights" that the young student was shot in the back of the head by government forces. As soon as Roubina's parents learned of their daughter's death, they traveled from Kermanshah, where they live, to Tehran to identify the body.
"The family was taken to a location near the college, where they were confronted with the bodies of hundreds of young people killed during the protests. Most of the victims were young people aged between 18 and 22, who had been shot at close range in the head and neck by government forces. Initially, the family was not allowed to identify Roubina's body, and later they were not allowed to take her body with them," sources close to the Aminian family told "Iran Human Rights."
"It wasn't just my daughter. I saw hundreds of bodies with my own eyes," said the mother of the 23-year-old student. According to sources from Roubina Aminian's circle, the family had to search among the bodies themselves to find and identify the young woman. The same sources reported that the 23-year-old's relatives saw hundreds of young people dead near the student's lifeless body.
After a lot of hardship, the family located the body and eventually received permission to transport it to Kermanshah, Roubina's hometown. However, upon arriving at their home, an unpleasant surprise awaited the 23-year-old's parents. Security forces had surrounded the area and did not allow the family to mourn and bury the young girl. According to sources from Roubina Aminian's circle, the family was forced to bury her body along the road between the Kurdish cities of Kermanshah and Kamyaran, in the western part of Iran.
Roubina Aminian's friends describe the 23-year-old student as "a young woman full of joy for life and passion for fashion design, whose dreams were buried by the violent repression of the Islamic Republic." Following Roubina Aminian's murder, her name has become a hashtag on social media, with many photos and videos depicting her and demonstrating her passion for fashion.
More than 500 people have lost their lives during the two weeks of demonstrations in Iran, according to the US-based human rights organization HRANA (Human Rights Activists in Iran).
