Trump convenes White House Situation Room meeting to assess Iran situation.

Two U.S. officials said that President Trump convened an emergency meeting in the White House Situation Room on Saturday morning to discuss the escalating crisis in the Strait of Hormuz and the ongoing negotiations between the U.S. and Iran. The current situation between the two countries has reached a critical point: with only 3 days left until the ceasefire agreement expires, and the specific date for the next round of talks between the U.S. and Iran has not been set. A senior U.S. official warned that if negotiations do not make progress in the short term, hostilities between the two sides could resume within a few days. According to U.S. officials, the attendees at the meeting in the Situation Room included: Vice President Pence, Secretary of State Pompeo, Secretary of Defense Esper, Treasury Secretary Mnuchin, White House Chief of Staff Meadows, White House special envoy Steve Witkoff, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley.
