President Trump convened White House Situation Room discussions on potential additional strikes against Iran, according to two American sources reported by Barak Ravid. The meeting came hours after Trump told reporters the US would 'hit them again very hard today,' reinforcing the shift to a sustained daily operational tempo against Iranian targets.
As The Zioneer reported earlier tonight (20:18), a broad but short-duration U.S. operation targeting Iran is under consideration — one option aimed at forcing a change in Iran's negotiating position. The president's earlier remarks from 18:07 confirmed that the U.S. struck Iran 'very hard' yesterday and vowed to continue.
The White House appears to be weighing a wider campaign to break the deadlock in nuclear talks rather than launch a full-scale war, as reported by Israeli media earlier this evening (17:23). Iran has responded by activating coastal electronic warfare systems, the desk reported at 20:17.
It remains unclear whether tonight's Situation Room session will produce specific orders or a narrower follow-up operation. Discussions are ongoing among senior U.S. officials.
