U.S. President Donald Trump met with top members of his national security team to discuss the path forward on the Iran war, CNN reported, citing a source familiar with the meeting.
The discussion took place a day before Trump said Tehran “better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them.”
“For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! President DJT,” Trump posted on social media Sunday.
Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, CIA Director John Ratcliffe and special envoy Steve Witkoff all attended the meeting at the president’s Virginia golf club, CNN reported citing its source.
In recent days, Trump has more seriously considered resuming major combat operations in Iran as a way to force them to a compromise to end the war, CNN previously reported, despite his preference to settle the conflict diplomatically.
Trump is expected to meet again with his national security team regarding the war early this week, the source told CNN.
The Pentagon has prepared a series of military target plans should Trump ultimately decide to move forward with more strikes, sources familiar with the talks told CNN, including targeted strikes on energy and infrastructure sites in Iran.
