US President Donald Trump is holding a high-level security meeting in the White House Situation Room to discuss next steps on Iran, a US official tells The Times of Israel.
Negotiations with Iran again reached a dead end over the weekend after Tehran refused to make significant concessions on its nuclear program.
Trump said yesterday that Iran’s response was “totally unacceptable.”
Participants in the meeting include Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine, and special envoy Steve Witkoff.
Channel 12 reports, citing two senior US officials, that Trump is considering renewed military action to increase pressure on Iran, with one official quoted as saying: “Trump is going to hit them a bit.”
