Trump holds third meeting in Situation Room regarding Iran: AlArabiya
President Donald Trump convened his third meeting in the Situation Room on Wednesday, June 17, 2025, to discuss the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. The meeting, which involved top advisers, comes amidst growing concerns over Iran's nuclear program and its potential threat to regional stability. Trump has been weighing the possibility of military intervention, but the White House has offered few clues about his final decision [1].Trump's latest comments have added a layer of tension to the ongoing conflict. He reiterated his determination to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, stating that the country had missed an opportunity to negotiate with him. The president also claimed that Iran was "a few weeks away" from developing a nuclear weapon, a timeline that contradicts some US intelligence assessments [1].
The US has so far limited its involvement to assisting Israel in defending against Iranian missile and drone attacks. Trump encouraged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to continue his offensive operations, but he has not indicated that US forces will participate in the strikes [1].
The potential for US military action has raised concerns about the safety of American troops stationed in the region. Iran has warned that it can target US bases if the US joins the Israeli attack. The US has been building its military presence in the region, with the USS Ford carrier strike group set to depart for a deployment in the European theater next week [2].
Despite the escalating rhetoric, there remains a narrow window for diplomatic resolution. Foreign ministers from the UK, France, and Germany are planning to hold nuclear talks with their Iranian counterpart on Friday in Geneva [1].
The situation is complex and evolving, with both sides exchanging missile strikes and escalating rhetoric. The US administration is weighing its options, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth presenting Trump with a range of military and diplomatic options [2].
