Trump Convenes Secret Situation Room Meeting to Plan Major Iran Military Offensive
By Pamela Geller - on July 16, 2026
The President is very serious about a new course against the terror regime.
Axios’ Barak Ravid, citing sources familiar with the discussions, reports that President Donald J. Trump convened a Situation Room meeting yesterday to review plans for a broader military campaign against Iran, extending beyond the ongoing strikes around the Strait of Hormuz.
The meeting took place after three consecutive days of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) strikes targeting Iranian military capabilities used to attack commercial shipping and before the fourth round of strikes began today, as the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports was set to take effect.
In an interview with Fox News ahead of the meeting, Trump said the U.S. would hit Iran “hard” over the coming days, warning that if Tehran does not negotiate, “next week comes the power plants… next week comes the bridges.” He also confirmed the U.S. is monitoring activity at Pickaxe Mountain, an underground site suspected of supporting Iran’s nuclear program, and warned it could be targeted if necessary.
