President Trump called senior officials to the White House Situation Room on Saturday morning to address a renewed crisis with Iran. The meeting followed Tehran's announcement of a renewed closure of the Strait of Hormuz and multiple attacks on vessels in the critical waterway. This escalation came less than a day after Trump suggested a deal to end the war could be imminent.
The situation is described as critical, with a ceasefire expected to expire in just three days. No final date has been set for a new meeting between U.S. and Iranian negotiators. A senior U.S. official warned that without a breakthrough soon, the war could resume in the coming days.
