President Trump's top national security aides convened an unexpected meeting at Camp David to deliberate on the Iran war and the Saudi-Houthi conflict in Yemen, according to three U.S. officials cited by Axios. The meeting, chaired by Vice President Kamala Harris, brought together key figures including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, White House envoy Steve Witkoff, CIA director John Ratcliffe, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen.
