President Donald Trump is discussing a plan for a new and wide-scale wave of airstrikes against Iran, according to a report. No further details of the plan have been disclosed.
The Zioneer reported earlier this morning (Wed 05:59 Jerusalem) that President Trump convened a Situation Room meeting to discuss plans for a new, wide-scale wave of airstrikes against Iran, broader than the current bombings in the Strait of Hormuz. Three sources confirmed the meeting, which included Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Rubio, Defense Secretary Hegseth, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Caine, CIA Director Ratcliffe, and envoy Witkoff. This latest report confirms that Trump is actively discussing such a plan.
The story thread evolved rapidly: the initial single-source report (Barak Ravid/N12) at 05:59 Jerusalem named the meeting; a subsequent version minutes later listed the participants; and a third version, also timestamped 05:59 Jerusalem, cited three sources confirming the attendees. The corroboration thus moved from one news outlet to multiple independent sources within the same hour.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Trump's threats to strike Iranian infrastructure, including power plants and bridges (Jun 10), and his announcement of a policy of nightly strikes until a deal is reached (Jun 11). These developments come amid weeks of escalating US military operations against Iran.
What remains open: no details on the scope, timing, or specific targets of the proposed strikes have been released. The plan is still under discussion, and it is not yet clear whether it will be approved or when it might be executed.
