President Donald Trump convened senior administration officials to discuss escalating the U.S. military campaign against Iran, according to a report. The president is described as being in 'revenge mode,' the report said.
The report aligns with a series of recent high-level deliberations on the Iran front. As The Zioneer reported earlier Friday, the New York Times said Trump met with senior advisors to decide on intensifying the attack. The Wall Street Journal had previously reported that Trump was losing patience and was in 'revenge mode,' according to unnamed sources. An Axios report from July 15 detailed a Situation Room meeting on plans for strikes on strategic Iranian targets.
The current report adds that the discussion focused on escalating attacks on Iran, though it does not specify whether decisions were reached or what specific targets were discussed. The sourcing and timing of the meeting remain unclear beyond the report itself.
