Trump holds multiple Situation Room meetings on Iran-Israel conflict

president Donald Trump has informed the Western Wing Chamber several times in recent days, where the conflict in Iran comes to a boil, and the United States is studying its own attacks on the Islamic Republic because of the escalating fears that can produce a nuclear weapon in a short period of time.

“Yes, I may do it. I may not do it. I mean, no one knows what I will do. I can tell you that Iran is facing a lot of troubles, and they want to negotiate,” Trump told reporters on Wednesday in the United States to be negotiating Iran. “And I said, why didn’t you negotiate with me before all this death and destruction? Why didn’t you go?

Fox News Digital spoke to former presidential administration officials – Fox News and former journalist Kayleight Mceneany, who served as part of the first Trump administration, and former National Security Adviser in the first Trump administration John Bolton, who also worked as an ambassador to the United Nations during the era of President George W. Bush. They both have transmitted the dangerous and historical tone of the room and its meetings usually.

The position room is a high -tech complex on an area of ​​5000 square feet in the western wing of the White House, which includes many conference rooms. President John Kennedy assigned the council in 1961 after the invasion of the Gulf Bay to overthrow the Castro regime in Cuba in the same year, according to national archives. The complex was built to provide presidents in the future, a area dedicated to crisis management, and it was renewed in 2006 and was renewed again in 2023.

Trump weighs amazing Iranian nuclear facilities: “I may do that, I may not do that.”

“I was often sitting there and thinking about the raid of Osama bin Laden,” McKinani told Fox News Digital in an interview on Thursday morning. “This is the place where we saw our heroic forces, Osama bin Laden, during the Obama administration. I think we are at another point where similar decisions are made, and even the largest decisions that may change the course of history are now occurring in that room.”

Trump again held a meeting in the situation room on Thursday morning, when he received intelligence with the national security advisers, who followed a meeting in the situation room on Wednesday afternoon, and another meeting was held on Tuesday afternoon with national security advisers and held a meeting Monday evening on his sudden return from the Group of Seven Summit in Canada this week.

The senior national security officials, including Defense Minister Beit Higseth, Director of National Intelligence Tolsi Gabbard, Vice President JD Vance, Foreign Minister Marco Rubio and Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Whitchov, are among the officials who joined Trump in the meetings where the administration sails between the perceived rapprochement.

Bolton told Fox Digital in an interview on Thursday morning that two types of higher meetings are held in the position room.

He said that the first is known as the “School Administrators’ meeting”, which includes secretaries of the Council of Ministers, such as the Foreign Minister and the Minister of Defense, and headed by the National Security Adviser – a role currently filled with Foreign Minister Marco Rubio.

“The Managers Committee usually meets to try to obtain everything in order to know the decisions that the president will face,” Bolton said. “They are trying to ensure that all information is collected together so that we can make an enlightened decision, and determine the options they see, and what are the pros and cons, then they were briefed (the president).”

The second type of the position hall meeting at the higher level is the official National Security Council meetings, which are chaired by the president.

“Among this, the decisions can come,” he added.

Mcenany occupied the best Trump administration spokesperson at the height of the Covid-19s, when the Corona virus business squad worked outside the situation room where Covid-19 was swept throughout the country.

“Many critical decisions were made during the epidemic,” she said. “It is a modest meeting. Every time you enter, you leave your phone at the door. I enter, and I think it is like 5,000 square feet, and you sit there, and there are hours from each country around the world, and different time areas. There is just sitting there as critical decisions.

I continued that during the epidemic, the work group will spend hours in the situation room on a daily basis as the team presented an attack from updates from all over the country. Trump frequently received the upper lines of meetings and joined the position room during the main decisions amid the spread of the virus.

“When there was, certainly, there is respect,” she said, referring to how the room’s tone would change when Trump arrived. “However, you had major officials who spoke, who were not afraid to give their point of view to him. But I think there is recognition that he is the supreme leader.”

Usually, journalists do not attend the prominent National Security Council meetings in the position room, but they have security permits and they can contact the room if necessary, and updates were submitted by senior officials.

Mcenany added that journalists do not usually want to be in the room for high risk conversations because “you do not want to fill your head with these sensitive deliberations of the classified information” when talking to the media.

Bolton explained that for a case like Iran, the positions of the position rooms are likely to be restricted and include senior national security officials, such as the Minister of Defense, the Director of National Intelligence and the Chief of Chiefs of Staff.

“Sometimes many people, the Minister of Internal Security, and the Trade Secretary, include such things,” he said. “But with this type of decision, this may be very restricted, so perhaps – well, there is no national security adviser – but, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Defense, the Director of National Intelligence, the Director of the CIA, the chief of chiefs of staff, and perhaps the public prosecutor.”

The first national security adviser in Trump was removed under the second administration, Mike Waltz, from the role and was nominated as the next US ambassador to the United Nations in May, with Rubio assumed the additional role. The White House has also cut NSC employees since Trump took office, including after Rubio took the leadership.

Experts say the Israeli “resounding” military campaign against Iran may be a historical turning point.

White House press secretary Caroline Levit held a press conference on Thursday – the first since Israel launched preventive strikes in Iran on June 12 – and said that the next two weeks will be a decisive period of time as American officials are planning the following steps.

I have a direct message from the president, and I quote: “Based on the fact that there is a great opportunity for negotiations that may or not take place with Iran in the near future. I will make my decision, whether I will go during the next two weeks. ”This is a direct quote from the president,” she said on Thursday.

Israel launched preventive strikes in Iran on June 12, months after the nuclear negotiations attempted and stopped through its increasingly that Iran was advancing on its nuclear program. prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu Shortly then announced that the strikes were necessary for “the Iranian threat to retreat to the survival of Israel.”

He added that if Israel does not act.It can produce Iran Nuclear weapon in a very short time. ”

The strikes called the “RISing Lion” were targeted, the Iranian nuclear and missile infrastructure, and killed a handful of Iranian military leaders.

Trump has repeatedly urged Iran to hold a deal on its nuclear program, but the country withdrew from the ongoing talks with the United States scheduled for Sunday in Amman.

Israel says it has an air superiority over Tehran, the killing of the Iranian intelligence leader.

“Iran should have signed the” deal “that told them to sign,” Trump published Monday evening, when suddenly left the seven -year -old summit in Canada to better focus on the Israeli conflict and Iran. “What a shame, a waste of human life. Simply, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. I said that again and again! Everyone must evacuate Tehran immediately!”

“The president is always interested in a diplomatic solution to the problems in global conflicts in this world. Once again, he is a major peacemaker. He is the head of peace force. Thus, if there is an opportunity for diplomacy, the president will always get it. But he is not afraid to use force as well.”
