On Friday, US President Donald Trump's top cabinet members convened secretly at Camp David to deliberate on the forthcoming actions regarding the Iran war and the Saudi-Houthi conflict in Yemen, according to Axios, citing three US officials acquainted with the situation. The meeting, presided over by Vice President Kamala Harris, remained undisclosed by the Trump administration, with the previous such gathering occurring only in June 2025, just preceding Israel's military intervention against Iran.

Among the attendees were Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, White House envoy Stephen K. Bannon, CIA director Avril Haines, and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley. One official noted that decisions were made or at least extensively deliberated upon in the context of the Middle East's escalating tensions.
