Trump is convening a cabinet meeting over the situation with Iran
Donald Trump is convening a meeting of his cabinet at Camp David to discuss the sharp escalation of the situation surrounding Iran and possible scenarios for ending the conflict, which Washington is already calling critical for the region. The meeting will take place against the backdrop of U.S. strikes on targets in southern Iran and rising tensions between the countries, according to the New York Post.
On Wednesday, May 27, U.S. President Donald Trump will hold a closed-door meeting with key members of his administration at the Camp David residence, where the central topic will be the situation surrounding Iran, which has sharply escalated in recent days amid military strikes and political pressure from both sides.
The White House is considering various scenarios, including a possible move toward a compromise, but the situation remains unstable due to recent U.S. strikes on targets in southern Iran, which have further heightened tensions in the region. All key cabinet members and agency heads will participate in the meeting, as well as Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who is preparing to leave her post, adding political weight to this meeting and underscoring the gravity of the moment.
The White House notes that in addition to the Iran issue, the administration plans to take stock of its work so far and discuss other key areas of U.S. domestic and foreign policy, as this meeting will be the twelfth since Trump returned to power in January 2025.
According to sources, the main focus will be on finding a political solution regarding Iran that would reduce the risks of further escalation and stabilize a situation that is rapidly spiraling out of diplomatic control.
The situation between Iran and the U.S. has sharply escalated following new airstrikes on southern Iran, which Tehran called a violation of the ceasefire. In response, the sides exchanged accusations, and tensions and oil prices in the region have risen again.
