President Trump to Convene National Security Council Over Israeli Strike on Iran

Report by “Safarti Tarjuman” International News Desk

WASHINGTON – In response to Israel’s sweeping military offensive against Iran, U.S. President Donald Trump will convene a high-level meeting of the National Security Council (NSC) on Friday at 11 a.m. local time, the White House has announced.

The decision to summon the NSC underscores the gravity of the unfolding crisis, as Israeli airstrikes reportedly targeted Iranian nuclear and military assets overnight. The United States, while not directly involved in the strikes, is closely monitoring the situation given its broader implications for regional and global security.

President Trump, currently at Camp David, is expected to lead the session remotely or in person with top military and intelligence officials. The NSC will assess:

• Potential Iranian retaliation
• U.S. troop deployments in the region
• Coordination with NATO and Middle East allies
• Global economic and energy security impacts

In a brief statement, the White House emphasized the president’s commitment to maintaining stability in the Middle East. “The President has directed the National Security Council to review all aspects of the unfolding situation and advise on possible U.S. responses and contingency plans,” the statement read.

The strike on Iran has galvanized attention in Washington, with lawmakers from both parties calling for transparency and strategic clarity. Multiple congressional leaders have requested briefings on the potential implications for U.S. national security and foreign policy.
