Sirens and loud explosions echoed through Tel Aviv on Tuesday night, just hours after former President Donald Trump met with his top national security advisers at the White House to weigh potential U.S. involvement in the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran.
Vice President JD Vance, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), indicated that Trump might take additional steps to halt Iran’s uranium enrichment activities. “He may decide he needs to take further action to end Iranian enrichment,” Vance wrote.

Trump himself made several statements on social media, calling for Iran’s “unconditional surrender” and issuing a pointed warning about Iran’s leadership. He claimed that the U.S. knows the location of Iran’s supreme leader but has chosen not to target him—“at least not for now.”
