According to three US officials, US President Trump's core cabinet members held closed-door talks for several hours at Camp David on Friday to discuss the Iran war and next steps in the armed conflict between Saudi Arabia and Yemen. The Trump administration did not announce this meeting to the outside world; such meetings are extremely rare. The last time a similar meeting was held was in June 2025, just a few days before Israel went to war against Iran. Officials said the meeting was presided over by Vice President Vance. Other participants included Secretary of State Rubio, Secretary of Defense Hegseth, White House Special Envoy Witkoff, CIA Director Ratcliffe, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Kane. Referring to the Middle East crisis, an official said, “Some matters have already been decided, or at least discussed in depth.” The White House declined to comment. Also, on Friday afternoon, during a meeting of advisers at Camp David, the reporter asked Trump how he would deal with Iran next. Trump replied, “If I told you, you'd have a big piece of news. But, wait and see. Things are progressing very well. Iran's situation is not good.”
