President Donald Trump convened a national security meeting and received a fresh briefing on military options immediately after announcing he would delay an attack. He postponed a final decision but left the door open to military action.<\/p>\n

On the 19th (local time), Axios reported that the president met at the White House the previous evening with senior national security aides to discuss Iran. Attendees included Vice President J.D. Vance; Secretary of State Marco Rubio; White House special envoy Steve Witkoff; Secretary of Defense Pete Hegses; Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Dan Keane; and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.<\/p>\n

The meeting reviewed potential military responses to Iran, the status of diplomatic talks, and U.S. strike plans. The session had been expected on Tuesday but was moved up to Monday night.<\/p>\n

Axios, citing U.S. officials, said Trump had not actually issued a strike order before announcing the delay. Some officials, however, believed he might make a final decision during the meeting.<\/p>\n

Concerns from Gulf states played a role in the decision to hold off. U.S. officials and regional sources said Gulf leaders warned that if Iran retaliated, their oil facilities and key infrastructure could be targeted. They urged Trump to give diplomacy one more chance.<\/p>\n

Trump also set a short deadline for negotiations, saying Iran had \u201ctwo to three days \u2014 by Friday or Saturday, or, at the earliest, early next week\u201d to produce a diplomatic breakthrough.<\/p>\n

The outlook for talks remains uncertain. Trump insisted that \u201cserious negotiations are underway,\u201d but a senior U.S. official told Axios that Iran\u2019s latest counterproposal showed no meaningful progress. Regional intermediaries are reportedly pressing Tehran to adopt a more flexible stance that would address U.S. nuclear demands.<\/p>\n

U.S. officials offered mixed readings of Trump\u2019s intentions. Axios reported that hawkish figures who\u2019ve engaged with the president judged him to be leaning toward tougher pressure on Iran, while other officials said they remain unsure which direction he will ultimately take.<\/p>\n

On the 19th, Trump again left open the option of military pressure. \u201cWe may have to hit Iran again,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s not certain yet. We\u2019ll know soon.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
