President Trump returned to the United States one day ahead of the G7 summit in Alberta, Canada, for this meeting, and immediately after his return he held a meeting with the National Security Council.
It is said that the US ordered the US-led coalition to hold a meeting in the situation room. US media reported that the meeting discussed direct US action, such as a direct strike by the US military on Iranian nuclear facilities or military support for Israel.
"President Trump has been gradually moving forward with using U.S. military assets to attack Iran's nuclear facilities," CNN reported, citing multiple U.S. government officials.
"While he said the possibility of diplomacy would be open if Iran made significant concessions, he also said that the recent hardline stance has been in keeping with President Trump's stance.
"This indicates a rapid change in the president's position," he said. Prior to this, President Trump had been made aware of the hideout of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
"We cannot tolerate missile attacks against civilians or U.S. forces. Our patience has reached its limit," he said. "Iran must surrender unconditionally."
US media also reported that President Trump had ordered the transfer of the Very Large Bunker Buster Bomb (GBU-57) capable of destroying Iran's underground nuclear facilities, as well as the B-2 stealth bomber capable of dropping it.
Trump has emphasized diplomatic solutions up until now, but since Israel's surprise attack on Iran's nuclear facilities and military bases on the 12th of this month,
It appears that the US subsequently changed its stance and began to support Israel.
