Trump holds emergency meeting at White House, discusses possibility of joining

Donald Trump's emergency meeting in the White House Situation Room, which lasted an hour and 20 minutes, was held to discuss whether the US should join Israel in striking Iranian nuclear plants.

The report says there is no complete agreement among Trump's closest advisers, writes the BBC .

After days of urging the Iranians to return to negotiations, President Trump is considering whether the United States should become directly involved in Israel's war against Iran. At a meeting of the U.S. National Security Council on Tuesday, Trump and his advisers reportedly discussed the possibility of striking Iran's nuclear facilities. One possible target could be the Fordo uranium enrichment facility deep underground.

Only the Americans have a bomb capable of destroying it.

According to CBS News, the president's advisers are still divided on how to proceed. US and Israeli media say that Trump made a phone call to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the meeting, but it is not known what was discussed. In the past three days, at least 30 US military tanker aircraft - used to refuel fighter jets and bombers - have been sent to Europe.

Yesterday, in a series of social media posts, Trump demanded Iran's "unconditional surrender."

Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, responded with a series of messages on social media last night - insisting that his country would "never compromise with the Zionists".
