President Trump to Meet with National Security Team After Strikes Against Iran and Threats from Iran

President Trump will hold a closed-door meeting with his national security team this afternoon as Iran threatens retaliation for Saturday night’s bombing campaign on Iranian nuclear facilities.

The President will receive his national security briefing at 1 pm ET, according to his public schedule.

The U.S. entered Israel’s war by bombing Iran on Saturday night, hitting three nuclear sites in the first ever use of the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator “Bunker Buster” bombs.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump addressed the nation on Saturday night, hours after the attack, which he called a “spectacular military success.” He further threatened Iran that “there are many targets left” and “we will go after those other targets with precision, speed, and skill” if they retaliate.

The mission, dubbed “Operation Midnight Hammer,” was further discussed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman General Dan Caine in a press conference on Sunday morning.

The 18-hour-plus mission was “the largest B-2 operational strike in U.S. history, and the second longest B-2 mission ever flown, exceeded only by those in the days following 9/11,” said General Caine. The strikes also utilized more than two dozen Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) responded to the attack, stating, “war starts right now.”

Iranian Parliament also voted on Sunday to close the Strait of Hormuz, which is used as a route for roughly 20% of the world’s oil shipping and is expected to impact oil prices across the world, especially for U.S. allies in the region.

The decision now awaits approval by Iran’s Supreme Council.

Meanwhile, other nuclear-armed countries have condemned the move, including Pakistan, which showed support for Iran to "defend itself" against U.S. forces in the region, and North Korea.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said in a statement on Sunday that “a number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads,” attacking Trump for “push[ing] the US into another war.”
