Trump, Vance discuss Iran, Yemen with top security aides at secret Camp David meeting - Axios

US President Trump's top cabinet members held a secret meeting at Camp David to discuss the Iran war and the Saudi-Houthi conflict in Yemen. According to Axios, Vice President Vance chaired the meeting, which included 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. Dan Caine.

The meeting, which was not announced by the Trump administration, comes as negotiations with Iran are stalled. President Trump has said that Iran must sign a deal or "it won't exist any longer". He is also being urged to join Saudi Arabia's planned offensive against the Houthis in Yemen, although he has been leaning against it.

In a separate event, Trump said at a rally that the war with Iran could end soon, "probably right after the elections". He also claimed that Iran's economy is in a deep crisis, with 310 percent inflation, and that the country has no navy, air force, radar, or anti-aircraft defence systems.
