Washington, May 17 (SANA) U.S. President Donald Trump intends to hold a meeting with his top national security advisers to discuss what American media have described as “military options” against Iran, signaling a further hardening of Washington’s stance toward Tehran.
According to the American news site Axios, Trump is scheduled to convene a session in the White House Situation Room on Tuesday with senior officials from his national security team to review possible military steps targeting Iran. The report, citing unnamed U.S. officials, said the planned meeting is part of Washington’s broader efforts to reassess its next moves in the fraught U.S.-Iran relationship.
The U.S.-Israeli–Iranian confrontation has entered a new phase of escalating political and military tensions, amid repeated warnings from President Trump that Washington could resume military strikes against Iran. The heightened rhetoric coincides with growing Western naval activity near the Strait of Hormuz and ongoing diplomatic initiatives led by Pakistan aimed at reviving stalled negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
