There are reports that the United States is planning to join Israel in a war against Iran. Trump held an emergency meeting with national security officials. The White House has not released details of the meeting.
Trump spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the phone. Trump has demanded a complete surrender from Iran, not a ceasefire, which Khamenei has rejected. The US has deployed more warplanes to the Middle East.
