Trump held his first consultation on Iran after the election

US President Donald Trump held his first consultation with his national security team on Iran after the midterm elections to Congress. Possible military operations were also on the agenda at the meeting, where Washington discussed its next steps against Tehran.

“Axios” wrote about this, citing informed sources.

According to the portal's interlocutor, Trump and his main national security advisers held their first meeting on Iran on Thursday as part of a weekly intelligence briefing.

Earlier, it was reported that the US president was considering three possible options regarding Iran. These include new strikes on Iran, continued economic pressure against Tehran, or reaching an agreement.

After meeting with his team, Trump told reporters, “We will decide now.”

“If possible, I would prefer not to destroy the rest of the country. But maybe I will have to do it. You will find out soon,” he said.

Meanwhile, according to the portal's sources, the US Armed Forces Central Command (CENTCOM) is about to complete preparations for the possible resumption of large-scale military operations in Iran.
