Report in WSJ: President Donald Trump continues to pressure his advisers to formulate what he defines as "decisive military options," after last week retreating from direct attacks against Iran.

Trump repeatedly emphasizes that any American action must have a decisive impact on Iran.

The discussions are taking place alongside the deployment of an aircraft carrier and American fighter jets in the Middle East - a move that may mark the beginning of a broader military buildup, which would give Trump operational capability to attack Iran if he decides to do so.

American sources told WSJ that additional air defense systems are being sent to the Middle East, including additional air defense systems against missiles such as Patriot and THAAD.

At the same time, American sources also mention non-direct military measures, including strengthening the online organizational capability of protesters inside Iran and imposing additional sanctions on the regime.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni: Cannot join Trump's peace council now, needs more time to consider the move.

Trump: Putin agreed to join the peace council

The U.S. State Department announced that the United States is imposing sanctions on six organizations operating in the Gaza Strip, which present themselves as medical and civilian aid bodies but in fact assist the military wing of Hamas.

Additionally, sanctions were also imposed on an entity called "The Popular Conference of Palestinians Abroad," which operated to secretly raise funds for Hamas.

President Donald J. Trump speaking earlier today on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, about the current situation surrounding Iran.

Reporter: “There are assets moving into the Gulf, obviously, carriers and other things. So a lot of people are wondering whether that's a prelude to further action?”

Trump: “Well, we hope there's not going to be further action. But, you know, they're shooting people indiscriminately in the streets. And they were going to - look this was a big thing for me - they were going to hang 830, hang 837 mostly young people.”
