US officials: Trump convenes senior leadership to assess renewed military action against Iran

Odaily Planet Daily News According to three US officials, after negotiations with Iran reached a deadlock on Sunday, Trump met with his national security team on Monday to discuss the next direction of the war with Iran, which may include resuming military operations. US officials said Trump wants to reach an agreement to end the war, but Iran has rejected many of his demands and refused to make meaningful concessions on its nuclear program, bringing military options back to the agenda.

Trump has recently made multiple public threats to bomb Iran's infrastructure facilities if diplomatic efforts fail. Officials said one option is to strike the 25% of targets that the US military has identified but not yet hit. US officials said Vice President Vance, US Special Envoy Witkoff, Secretary of State Rubio, Defense Secretary Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and other senior officials are expected to attend the meeting on the Iran issue.
