Trump hasfor weeks warnedof potential for military strikes on the Middle Eastern nation, as his negotiators held mediated talks with their Iranian counterparts to discuss a deal. The White House says an agreement would avert military action, and the administration was waiting for a proposal from Tehran, heading into the weekend.

The president acknowledged on Feb. 20 that a limited strike on Iran is currently on the table. "I guess I am considering that," he said in response to a question.

After a Situation Room discussion on Iran on Feb. 18, a senior administration official told USA TODAY that Trump could decide to strike Iran as soon as this weekend. He could also strike Iran next weekend — or never — the official said of the president's options. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive topic.

Anti-government protests in Iran appeared to accelerate on Jan. 9, sparked by anger over the collapse of the country's currency and a broader sense of hopelessness and disillusionment with Tehran's clerical leaders.

The uptick in unrest also comes as President Donald Trump warned Iran's authorities against killing peaceful protesters, saying Washington "will come to their rescue."

More:Trump says Iran has 10 days to reach nuclear deal to avoid military action

The following day,during a Feb. 19 meetingof his Board of Peace for Gaza, Trump told attendees he would know whether a deal was possible within the next 10 days.

"We may have to take it a step further or we may not," Trump said.

He said later in the day that 15 days was his maximum.

The senior official who spoke to USA TODAY said earlier on Feb. 19 that the U.S. was waiting on a proposal from the Iranians, and it should arrive within the next two weeks.

White House says 'all options' at Trump's disposal

Trump's administration is currentlylocked in negotiationswith Iran to curb itsnuclear program, and the White House has repeatedly emphasized that Trump prefers the diplomatic route. But the mediated talks have not yet produced a deal. Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahuhas pushed to include Iran's ballistic missile program and funding for its proxy forces in the region in the deal – conditions that experts say the Iranians arehighly unlikely to accept.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is scheduled to meet in Israel with Netanyahu on the evening Feb. 28. Trump has typically consulted close ally Israel on his actions in the region and worked in close coordination with Israel when it bombed Iran's nuclear siteslast June.Netanyahu also visited Trump in Washington this month.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a"Morning Joe" interviewon Feb. 20 on MSNOW that "there is no military solution for Iran's nuclear program."

"The only solution is diplomacy. This is why the U.S. is back on the table of negotiation and is seeking a deal," he said.

But the Iranian diplomat said his country was prepared for negotiation, "as much as we are prepared for war," if an agreement cannot be reached.

Several news outletshave reported in recent days that Trump is considering a limited initial strike, but that an operation to decapitate Iran's government ortake out leadershipis also on the table.

The Pentagon and U.S. Central Command referred USA TODAY's request for comment to the White House.

A White House official told USA TODAY in a statement, "President Trump's first instinct is always diplomacy, and he has been clear that the Iranian regime should make a deal. Of course, the president ultimately has all options at his disposal."

Trump renewed his threats in recent months as the largest protests in decades broke out in the country, prompting the Iranian regime to carry out a brutal crackdown that hasreportedly killed thousands.Trump previously sent amessage to protestersin a Truth Social post that "help is on its way," but has since shifted the goal of negotiations – and a possible military operation – to Iran's nuclear program.

Experts said Trump could launch an initial strike and expand as circumstances required.

"I think the idea of limited, and expanding [strikes] is something that is definitely on the table," said Brian Carter, an Iran-focused research manager at the American Enterprise Institute's Critical Threats Project.

Even a limited strike, though, could send both nations down an escalatory path, said Jennifer Kavanagh, the director of military analysis at Defense Priorities.

A limited strike is "something the military could try, but the idea that Iran isn't going to retaliate, to me, seems unlikely."

Iran has threatened to unleash attacks on U.S. troops in the region if Trump. On any given day, there are between 30,000 and 40,000 troops in the region, according to Capt. Tim Hawkins, a spokesperson for U.S. Central Command.

"They've made it clear they will retaliate, and then once they retaliate, the U.S. will have to retaliate," said Kavanagh. "Then we're into a cycle of strikes."

State of the Union looms over Trump threats

Trump is set to deliver his State of the Union address to Congress on Feb. 24.

After coming under criticismfrom MAGA Republicansfor his frequent meetings with foreign leaders at the White House and overall focus on waging war and forging peace deals, the president has increased his domestic travel ahead of the midterm electionsand held moreeconomic events. He has mostly kept his meetings with visiting leaders behind closed doors after publicly broadcasting many of them in his first year in office.

The optics ofTrump hitting Iran for a second time, just as he's due to barnstorm the country coming out of the address as part of an affordability-focused tourin battleground areashis party needs to win to retain control of the House of Representatives, would not be ideal.

Trumpfirst attacked Iran in June2025, when U.S. military planes at his direction dropped more than a dozen penetrating bombs on Iran's nuclear facilities. Now, he has dispatched a growing bevvy of military assets to the region to bolster his threats.

An aircraft carrier and a dozen warships are currently deployed in the region, and dozens of fighter jets, including F-22s and F-16s,headedtowards U.S. bases in the Middle East in the last week, according to open source accounts and news reports. They were accompanied by air tankers used to refuel planes while in flight. Another aircraft carrier is on the way to the region, with more naval destroyers in tow.

The entirety of the Gerald Ford carrier strike group and full U.S. military assets are not expected to arrive in the region in mid-March, the senior administration official said.

Allies have reportedly signaled they aren't willing to back up the United States if Trump launches an attack. The London Timesreportedon Feb. 19 that the United Kingdom will not allow Trump to use its military bases for an attack, followingsimilar statementsfrom Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Given the massive amount of U.S. military firepower in the region, anything is possible, Carter said.

"The U.S. military has broad enough assets to do basically anything from a relatively limited strike that would intend to push Iran in the right direction on negotiations, all the way up to a strike that intends to actually topple the regime itself," he said.

The more pressing question, Kavanagh said, is the "day after strategy."

"There is no short, limited campaign here," she said.

Native American Women Sterilization

Decades later, the state of New Mexico is set to investigate that troubling history and its lasting harm.

New Mexico legislators approved a measure this week to have the state Indian Affairs Department and the Commission on the Status of Women examine the history, scope and continuing impact of forced and coerced sterilizations of women of color by the Indian Health Service and other providers. The findings are expected to be reported to the governor by the end of 2027.

"It's important for New Mexico to understand the atrocities that took place within the borders of our state," said state Sen. Linda Lopez, one of the legislation's sponsors.

It's not the first state to confront its past. In 2023, Vermont launched atruth and reconciliation commissionto study forced sterilization of marginalized groups including Native Americans. In 2024, California beganpaying reparationsto people who had been sterilized without their consent in state-run prisons and hospitals.

The New Mexico Legislature also laid the groundwork to create a separate healing commission and for a formal acknowledgment of a little known piece of history that haunts Native families

Sarah Deer, a professor at the University of Kansas School of Law, said it's long overdue.

"The women in these communities carry these stories," she said.

Outside of a 1976 U.S. Government Accountability Office report, the federal government has never acknowledged what Deer calls a campaign of "systemic" sterilizations in Native American communities.

The Indian Health Service and its parent agency, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, did not respond to multiple emails requesting comment on New Mexico's investigation.

A troubling history

In 1972, Jean Whitehorse was admitted to an Indian Health Service hospital in Gallup, New Mexico, with a ruptured appendix. Just 22 and a new mother, Whitehorse said she remembers experiencing "extreme pain" as providers presented her with a flurry of consent forms before rushing her into emergency surgery.

"The nurse held the pen in my hand. I just signed on the line," said Whitehorse, a Navajo Nation citizen.

A few years later when she was struggling to conceive a second child, Whitehorse said she returned to the hospital and learned she had received a tubal ligation. The news devastated Whitehorse, contributed to the breakdown of her relationship and sent her spiraling into alcoholism, she said.

Advocates already were sounding the alarm about women like Whitehorse who were entering IHS clinics and hospitals to give birth or for other procedures and later finding themselves unable to conceive. The activist group Women of All Red Nations, or WARN — an offshoot of the American Indian Movement — was formed in part to expose the practice.

In 1974, Choctaw and Cherokee physician Connie Redbird Uri reviewed IHS records and alleged that the federal agency had sterilized as many as 25% of its female patients of childbearing age. Some of the women Uri interviewed were unaware they had been sterilized. Others said they were bullied into consenting or misled to believe the procedure was reversible.

Uri's allegations helped prompt the GAO audit, which found that the Indian Health Service sterilized 3,406 women in four of the agency's 12 service areas between 1973 and 1976, including in Albuquerque. The agency found that some patients were under the age of 21 and most had signed forms that didn't comply with federal regulations meant to ensure informed consent.

GAO researchers determined that interviewing women who had undergone sterilizations "would not be productive," citing a single study of cardiac surgical patients in New York who struggled to recall past conversations with doctors. Because of the lack of patient interviews and the narrow purview of the GAO's audit, advocates say the full scope and impact remains unaccounted for.

A venue to tell their stories

Whitehorse didn't share her experience for nearly 40 years, she said. First, she told her daughter. Then, other family.

"Each time I tell my story, it relieves the shame, the guilt," Whitehorse said. "Now I think, why should I be ashamed? It's the government that should be ashamed of what they did to us."

Whitehorse now advocates publicly for victims of forced sterilization. In 2025, she testified about the practice to the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues and called for the United States to formally apologize.

Whitehorse hopes New Mexico's investigation will offer more victims a venue to tell their stories. But advocates like Rachael Lorenzo, executive director of the Albuquerque-based sexual and reproductive health organization Indigenous Women Rising, say the commission must be careful to avoid re-traumatizing survivors across generations.

"It's such a taboo topic. There's a lot of support that needs to happen when we tell these traumatic stories," said Lorenzo.

In a New Mexico legislative hearing earlier this month, retired Indian Health Service physician Dr. Donald Clark testified that he has seen patients in their 20s and 30s "seeking contraception but not trusting that they will not be irreversibly sterilized" because of stories quietly passed down by their grandmothers, mothers and aunts.

"It's still an issue that is affecting women's choice of birth control today," Clark said.

A pattern of disenfranchisement

A 1927 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Buck v. Bell upheld states' rights to sterilize people it considered "unfit" to reproduce, paving the way for the forced sterilization of immigrants, people of color, disabled people and other disenfranchised groups throughout the 20th century.

According to Lorenzo and Deer, the sterilization of Native American women fits into a pattern of federal policies meant to disrupt Native people's reproductive autonomy, from the systemic removal of Indigenous children into government boarding schools and non-Native foster homes to the 1976 Hyde Amendment, which prevents tribal clinics and hospitals that receive federal funding from performing abortions in almost all cases.

In Canada, doctors have beensanctionedas recently as 2023 for sterilizing Indigenous women without their consent.

Deer said New Mexico's investigation could pave the way for accountability. But without cooperation from the federal government, Deer said the commission's fact-finding abilities would be limited.

• While Alan Cumming has been in many successful movies, there's one he believes would have done better at the box office if it had been marketed better

• Cumming says 2001's Josie and the Pussycats was "ahead of its time" but poorly promoted

• "It could have found its audience sooner, and it could have been a much more commercially successful film if they hadn't blown it in the marketing department," he said

There's one filmAlan Cummingbelieves would have done better at the box office if it had been marketed better.

During a chat withInStyle Magazinelast month, theTraitorshost, 61, said he felt like theJosie and the Pussycatsmarketing team missed the mark when it came to promoting the 2001 musical comedy.

"My strongest memory and feeling aboutJosie and the Pussycatsis that it was a marketing disaster," he said. "It was totally marketed to the wrong audience."

While the movie "was marketed to tweens," he noted that "it's a very adult film."

"It's about sort of adult themes about the way that commerce is infiltrating our culture — it's a fun comedy, but it's got this underlying message that I don't think was appropriate or appreciated by the audience that it was targeted to," Cumming said.

However, thankfully, in the last 25 years, the film has "found its audience and people really appreciate it and are obsessed with it," which he "loves."

"I actually love being in films where people don't get it initially, and years go by, and it's sort of the gift that keeps on giving," he continued. "It could have found its audience sooner, and it could have been a much more commercially successful film if they hadn't blown it in the marketing department. Sorry to the marketing department, I'm sure you're all lovely, but you got it wrong."

He went on to say that the film was "very much ahead of its time."

NEED TO KNOW

• The Iron Claw stars Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White and Harris Dickinson as three of the Von Erich brothers

• The Von Erichs were a dominant wrestling dynasty in the 1980s until a series of tragedies

• Sean Durkin's A24 film premiered in 2023 and is now available to stream on Netflix

The Iron Clawdelivered more thanchiseled physiquesandskimpy wrestling gear— it brought a devastating true story to the big screen.

The A24 film, written and directed by Sean Durkin and now streaming onNetflix, follows the rise and fall of the Von Erich wrestling family and the immense pressure placed on them by their patriarch, Fritz Von Erich (Holt McCallany).

At the center ofThe Iron Clawis Kevin Von Erich (Zac Efron) alongside his siblings Kerry Von Erich (Jeremy Allen White), David Von Erich (Harris Dickinson) and Mike Von Erich (Stanley Simons). Under Fritz's relentless drive to build a wrestling dynasty in Texas during the 1980s, the brothers rise to fame in the ring — becoming local heroes and national stars.

Known for their outlandish personalities in the ring — as well as the forehead-squeezing iron claw and other trademark maneuvers — the clan became equally renowned for a series of accidents and deaths that came to be called the "Von Erich curse." When Fritz died in 1997, five of his six sons had predeceased him, each from different circumstances.

Today, Kevin Von Erich is the only living brother. In 2009, he represented his entire family as they were collectively inducted into the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Hall of Fame.

Speaking to PEOPLE ahead of the movie's December 2023 premiere, Kevin joked that Efron "had a tough job. It's not easy to be me." An actor portraying a wrestler with decades of experience means "a whole lot to cram into a movie," he added, "but he was able to do it... he's a real star."

Here's everything to know about the true story ofThe Iron Claw.

Who was Fritz Von Erich?

Bettmann Archive

Jack Barton Adkisson Sr., born in Texas in 1929, created the ring name Fritz Von Erich in the 1950s as he transitioned from discus throwing and football to playing villainous characters in professional wrestling. Fritz worked his way up to a record-setting 20 wins at the Texas-based NWA American Heavyweight Championship and many other victories in the United States and Japan.

By the 1980s, he had also established himself as a promoter and entrepreneur. Fritz owned the World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) which broadcast live matches from the Sportatorium in Dallas, Texas.

InThe Iron Claw, Fritz is portrayed by McCallany. Playing his wife Doris J. Smith is Tierney.

Who were the Von Erich brothers and how did they become popular wrestlers?

Eric Chakeen

Fritz and Doris married in 1950 and had a total of six children, all sons: Jack Barton Jr., Kevin, David, Kerry, Mike and Chris.

Most followed in their father's footsteps and began honing their stage personas at the Sportatorium. As regional wrestling matches grew in popularity thanks to syndicated TV, Kevin, David and Kerry established a dynasty, wrestling against each other or against rivals includingRic Flair, Chris Adams and The Fabulous Freebirds.

In the film adaptation, Dickinson plays second-eldest David, while White plays third-eldest Kerry. Simons plays fourth-eldest Mike, who allegedly had less interest in the family's wrestling legacy than his brothers. Nevertheless, he stepped into the ring briefly in the mid-1980s — as tragedy began to strike the Von Erichs.

What is the "Von Erich curse" and how did each of the brothers die?

Unfortunately, the Von Erichs became just as well-known for a series of events that occurred outside the spotlight as for their victories within.

Although Kevin grew up the eldest Von Erich brother, it was Jack Barton Jr. who was born first, in 1952. Hediedin 1959 after a freak accident, electrocuted by a live wire and drowning in a puddle of melting snow.

So the family was no stranger to loss when David was found dead in 1984, at 25 years old, of ruptured intestines resulting from acute enteritis while on a tour with All Japan Pro Wrestling.

In 1985, Mike, who had begun wrestling to fill the void left behind by David, injured his shoulder during a match in Israel. The resulting surgery led to toxic shock syndrome and allegedly brain damage. He returned to the ring beforedyingat age 23 from a fatal dose of tranquilizers in 1987.

Youngest son Chris, who was asthmatic and smaller than all his brothers, then died by suicide in 1991 at age 21, reportedly depressed over a lack of success and injuries suffered in the ring.

Kerry, who claimed the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship not long after David's death and became the family member's most accomplished wrestler, suffered from a motorcycle accident in 1986 that resulted in the loss of his right foot. The amputation was kept a secret and Kerry continued wrestling while wearing a prosthesis. In 1993 he died at age 33, also by suicide.

"Not only have I lost a brother, I lost all of them," Kevin said inThe Last of the Von Erichs, an episode of docuseriesDark Side of the Ring. "There was talk about there being a curse on the family. It's ridiculous. A curse. What happened was just a terrible terrible thing, but no curse."

What is Kevin Von Erich up to now?

Kevin, who in addition to being a popular character in the ring inherited the WCCW from his father, married Pamela J. May in 1980. They now live in Hawaii, and together have four children — including championship wrestlers Marshall and Ross Von Erich — and 11 grandchildren.

On Nov. 8, 2023, in Dallas, the WWE Hall of Fame inductee joined Durkin and the cast ofThe Iron Clawto celebrate thefilm's premiere.

IsThe Iron Clawa faithful biopic?

The Iron Clawpresents the important moments in the Von Erichs' story from the 1960s through the 1980s, save for one big omission: Chris does not appear in the story. PerEntertainment Weekly, writer-director Durkin cut the youngest brother from the script to keep his film's runtime to a manageable length.

To recreate real-life wrestling matches, Durkin filmed many in one take in front of a live audience, according toEW. Efron, White, Dickinson, Simons and McCallany studied archival footage of the Von Erichs and trained with pro wrestler and stunt coordinator Chavo Guerrero Jr. in order to play the athletes faithfully.

At the Dallas film premiere in November 2023, Kevin revealed to PEOPLE there were "painful spots" in seeing his life story on the big screen. "But there are beautiful ones too. I think they were good to show the love we had amongst each other and the love I had for my father. It's going to come off like he was a really hard man, but he was a hard man. But back then, a lot of fathers were."

"It's just so awful," hetold the New Yorkerin a newly published interview.

"And I think about how Rob felt about things that are happening in the country, how involved he was, how much he put himself out there—and to have that voice go quiet in an instant is still hard for me to comprehend."

He also reflected on his relationship with the iconic "Princess Bride" director and his wife.

"I knew Rob and Michele, and then increasingly got closer and closer to them, and I was seeing them a lot," he shared.

"My wife and I were seeing them a lot, and they were so—they were just such lovely people. And to have that experience of saying good night to somebody and having them leave and then find out the next day that they're gone. . . . I think I was in shock for quite a while afterward."

Rob and Michele's daughter, Romy, found the couplestabbed to deathin their home on Dec. 14. Rob was 78 and Michele was 70.

It was revealed at the time that their deaths occurred afterthey had argued with their son Nickat O'Brien's holiday party the previous night.

Nick, 32, wasarrestedandcharged with two counts of first-degree murderwith a special circumstance of multiple murders.

The aspiring director faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole or the death penalty.

He was being medicated fordiagnosed schizophrenia; however, the medication had the effect of making him "out of his head." Nick alsohas a long history of drug addiction.

Nick was scheduled to be arraigned last month. However, his lawyer — famed criminal defense attorney Alan Jackson —quit the case just before the court hearingon Jan. 7. The arraignment has been rescheduled for Monday.

Jackson laterdiscussed his reasons for dropping the case.

"That's a confidential communication between a lot of folks that I'm not willing to disclose," he told Billy Bush during a January appearance on the "Hot Mic" podcast.

When Bush asked if it had to do with money, Jackson responded, "You can't say that something happened with the retainer because I've never said that."

"Obviously, something happened with my ability, and my team's ability, to continue the representation, but I don't want you, your audience or anybody else to start speculating as to what that might be," he added. "I have not said a word about it."

Jackson continued, "Once I'm done, I'm done. I've withdrawn."

Feb 21 (Reuters) - A federal immigration agent shot and killed a U.S. citizen in Texas in March 2025, months before the Trump administration began its deportation surge in Minnesota that ‌led to the shooting deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, according to records released this ‌week.

Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, was killed by agents with the Department of Homeland Security, attorneys for Martinez's family said in a statement.

A DHS ​agent fired multiple rounds at Martinez, who allegedly hit another DHS agent with his car as the agents assisted local police in South Padre Island, Texas, with traffic control following an accident on March 15, 2025, according to records obtained by American Oversight, a nonprofit watchdog group. The agents were conducting immigration enforcement, the records show.

Martinez's shooting appears to be ‌the first known instance of a U.S. ⁠citizen being killed during U.S. President Donald Trump's crackdown on immigration. Federal agents conducting immigration enforcement shot at least five people in January alone, including Pretti and Good.

FAMILY LAWYERS CALL FOR ⁠INVESTIGATION

Martinez was trying to comply with instructions from local law enforcement when he was shot, Charles Stam and Alex Stamm, attorneys for Martinez's family, said in a statement. They called for a "full and fair investigation."

"Ruben's family has been pursuing transparency ​and accountability ​for nearly a year now and will continue to do ​so for as long as it takes," ‌Stam and Stamm said.

The mounting death toll in Trump's intensifying immigration push has increased scrutiny on the crackdown, driving a backlash among lawmakers and the public.

The Trump administration is dramatically ramping up immigration enforcement with $170 billion budgeted for immigration agencies through September 2029, a historic sum.

Martinez, who was identified as a U.S. citizen in the redacted records, was taken to a hospital in nearby Brownsville, Texas, where he was later pronounced dead. The agent who was hit with ‌a car went to the hospital for a knee injury and ​was later released, according to the report.

"These records paint a deeply ​troubling picture of the violent methods used by ​ICE," Chioma Chukwu, the executive director of American Oversight, said in a statement. "In just ‌the first months of this administration, ICE's own ​data shows a dramatic spike ​of nearly 400 percent in use-of-force incidents — with people hospitalized, bystanders swept up in operations, and even the death of a U.S. citizen."

A DHS spokesperson said in a statement that Martinez "intentionally ran over" an ​agent with DHS' Homeland Security Investigations and another ‌agent "fired defensive shots."

The nearly year-old incident is under investigation by the Texas Department of Public Safety ​Ranger Division, a DHS spokesperson said. A spokesperson with Texas DPS did not immediately respond to a ​request for comment.
