Fears of renewed attacks on Iran have intensified after US President Donald Trump convened an emergency meeting of his top national security team to discuss the ongoing crisis and possible military action.
According to US media reports, Trump is seriously considering the option of launching fresh attacks on Iran, although officials say the decision could still change if negotiations make unexpected progress.
Sources said the emergency meeting included Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe and other senior officials.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio was unable to attend due to engagements in Europe. According to US officials, Trump is increasingly frustrated with the slow pace of negotiations with Iran in recent days.
Military option under consideration
US media reported that Trump is exploring the possibility of what officials described as “decisive military action,” after which Washington could potentially declare an end to the war.
