Trump Holds Meeting with Senior Advisers to Review Iran Strategy
The Wednesday meeting reportedly included the Middle East envoy, senior advisers, the Secretary of State, and other high-ranking officials. Trump received briefings on nuclear discussions held earlier in Geneva with Iranian representatives and evaluated possible courses of action.
Officials cautioned that any military strike against Iran could escalate beyond a limited operation and potentially develop into a broader, prolonged conflict. This stands in contrast to a more contained mission conducted in Venezuela in January, as stated by reports.
Separately, reports indicate US forces are ready for a potential strike on Iran in the coming days, though the president has not made a final decision. Sources said forces could be positioned to act as early as this weekend, following recent increases in air and naval deployments to the Middle East.
One source noted that Trump has privately expressed mixed opinions on military action and has sought input from advisers and allied governments on the best approach.
In addition to Iran, the president was briefed on negotiations related to the Russia-Ukraine war and an upcoming Gaza peace board meeting scheduled in Washington, DC.
