President Donald Trump met with his national security team Monday to discuss
next steps in the Iran conflict, including possible renewed military action,
after Tehran rejected a US proposal to end the war. Trump said Iran’s response
was “inappropriate” and described the ceasefire as being “on massive life
support.” US officials said Trump still wants a deal but is considering military
options to pressure Iran over its nuclear program. Possible measures include
restarting maritime operations in the Strait of Hormuz or resuming strikes on
remaining Iranian targets. Officials said Trump is unlikely to order action
before returning from his China trip later this week.
