President Trump Considers Resuming Military Strikes on Iran Amid Stalled Negotiations
President Trump met with top national security advisers to discuss potential military action against Iran as diplomatic talks falter.
President Donald Trump convened a meeting with his senior national security team on Friday to deliberate potential military action against Iran, according to U.S. officials. Attendees included Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
The meeting comes amid stalled negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program and the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz. A source close to the administration indicated that President Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with the lack of progress and is seriously considering resuming military strikes unless a breakthrough occurs.
In a related development, Pakistani military chief Field Marshal Asim Munir visited Tehran in an effort to ease tensions. Despite ongoing talks, Iran's Foreign Ministry signaled that a deal remains distant.
Following the meeting, the White House announced changes to President Trump's weekend schedule, suggesting shifting plans. The administration has previously considered renewing military action against Iran but has held back so far.
