A White House Situation Room meeting on the Israel-Iran war has wrapped up after an hour and 20 minutes, a US official tells reporters.

US officials said Trump was keeping all options on the table, while insisting that Washington had no hand in the campaign so far.

The most likely option under consideration by Trump would be the use of giant US “bunker-buster” bombs against Iran’s deeply buried Fordo nuclear facility that Israel’s bombs cannot reach.

The New York Times said Trump was also considering allowing US tanker aircraft to refuel Israeli combat jets so they could carry out long-range missions.

US officials said dismantling Iran’s nuclear program — which Western countries say Tehran is using to seek a nuclear weapon, although the Iranian government denies this — remains Trump’s priority.
