President Donald Trump is expected to meet with leaders of Gulf states on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York next Tuesday to discuss the next steps in the ongoing war with Iran, according to three sources familiar with the matter, as reported by Barak Ravid (N12/ynet). The report provides no further details on the format or specific agenda of the meeting.
The reported diplomatic outreach comes amid a sustained US military campaign against Iran that has included airstrikes on strategic infrastructure and discussions of broader operations. The Zioneer has previously covered a series of high-level US deliberations on the Iran conflict: on July 15, three sources confirmed Trump chaired a Situation Room meeting on wider strike plans; on July 23, Trump stated in an N12 interview that he was 'close to making a decision' on a massive attack; and on July 31, Trump convened a discussion at Camp David with Iran on the agenda. The meeting with Gulf leaders next week would represent the latest diplomatic component of the US approach to the conflict.
