The United States will strike Iran with unprecedented strikes if the Islamic Republic attacks American military and commercial facilities. US President Donald Trump announced this to reporters in a live broadcast on the YouTube channel of the White House.

"If they do that, we will hit them at levels that they've never been hit before. They won't even believe it," Trump said, responding to a question about a possible Iranian attack on US military and commercial facilities.

The US president added that he has "options that are so strong." CNN on Sunday reported that Trump is considering military options against Iran amid the mass protests in the country. According to the media outlet, in recent days the US president has been informed about various intervention plans, from possible strikes to non-military options. Some of these included the use of Tehran's security forces to suppress protests.
