Media Trump holds national security meeting discussing resuming war on Iran

An informed source revealed to "CNN" that US President Donald Trump held a meeting with his senior national security officials to discuss the future course of the war with Iran.

This came one day before Trump's statement that Tehran "must move quickly, otherwise nothing will be left for it."

According to the network, the meeting, which took place at Trump National Golf Club in Virginia, was attended by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff.

This meeting came just hours after Trump's return from China, a country considered Iran's largest commercial and diplomatic ally in the East, at a timing when the US President likely discussed the dimensions of the crisis with Tehran with Chinese officials before this crucial meeting.

The meeting also comes days after the Pentagon announced that the destroyer USS Delbert D. Black departed from Bahrain heading to the Gulf, and that the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush is conducting exercises in the Gulf of Oman, in a show of force before any potential operation.

President Trump told Fox News on Friday evening that he did not underestimate Iran's ability to endure pain, but he threatened to destroy all Iranian infrastructure in two days if necessary, considering the two-and-a-half-month war to be the "least bloody" compared to America's previous wars in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
