Reports quote Iranian officials alleging as many as 30,000 deaths in the crackdown,while the government has acknowledged 3,117 killed and a human\u2011rights group counted 5,459 deaths with over 17,000 incidents under review.

U.S. officials say Iran has been offered terms repeatedly, including removing enriched uranium, capping long\u2011range missiles, ending support for regional militias, and banning uranium enrichment. Intelligence assessments cited in the article suggest the Iranian government\u2019s hold on power is at its weakest since 1979. Republicans such as Sen. Lindsey Graham urge stronger action to push for regime change, and the White House says Trump is being regularly briefed and closely monitoring the situation.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>As potential retribution lumbers closer to Iran, its leaders want to make a deal with the United States, according to President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Iran put its foot down after weeks of anti-government protests and dispersed the demonstrators.
