In addition, the American president once again stated that Iran's Navy, Air Force, radar systems, air defense, and all other means of defense have allegedly "disappeared."

The previous evening, US media reported that Trump held a meeting at the White House Situation Room to discuss renewed attacks. Among the options was a short-term but large-scale operation that would increase pressure on Iran during negotiations.
