Trump held Situation Room meeting on massive new Iran strikes

Axios reports that President Trump held a Situation Room meeting Tuesday to weigh a far wider offensive against Iran, one that would reach well beyond the current strikes around the Strait of Hormuz. According to three sources cited by the outlet, the discussion centered on devastating attacks on strategic targets inside Iran, even as U.S. forces hit air defenses, radar, and missile positions along the coast for a fourth straight day. Trump told Fox News the campaign would intensify, warning that Iran's power plants and bridges could be next unless Tehran agrees to negotiate. The meeting followed a newly imposed U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports and Iranian missile and drone strikes on American bases in Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain.
