Trump weighs three options on Iran after security meeting

Donald Trump met with his national security advisors for the first time since the midterm elections and told reporters he will soon decide whether to resume a full-scale war against Iran. According to Axios, the president is currently weighing three options: launching new attacks, continuing economic pressure on the Iranian regime, or reaching an agreement with significant concessions to Iran. Intense diplomatic activity occurred yesterday, including calls between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and regional mediators. Qatari mediators continued talks on a proposal for a two-day confidence-building process. The plan includes the US lifting its naval blockade and unfreezing some Iranian funds, while Iran would invite IAEA inspectors to bombed nuclear sites, followed by reopening the Strait of Hormuz and nuclear negotiations.
