Axios: Trump holds first post-election meeting on Iran US President Donald Trump held his first meeting on Iran with his national security team since the midterm elections. According to Axios, the meeting took place as part of a weekly intelligence briefing. Trump then told reporters that a decision would be made soon. "On Thursday, Trump and his senior national security advisers met about Iran for the first time since the election as part of their weekly intelligence briefing," the source was quoted as saying. In the past it was reported that Washington is considering three options: to launch new attacks, to continue economic pressure or to make a deal. However, according to CENTCOM, the command is completing preparations to resume major combat operations, although it has not yet received new instructions from the White House. "I'd rather not destroy the rest of the country if possible, but I might have to." You will soon find out," Axios quotes Trump as saying. One of the signals of the preparations for the attacks could be the arrival of the third attack group of US Navy carriers in the Middle East. The aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt and her group will spend several days in Singapore and will not approach the area until mid-November.
