The meeting with President Trump and his national security team in the White House Situation Room is supposedly taking place right now, having started at 1 p.m. EDT. This session is focused on making critical decisions regarding U.S. policy toward the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, according to three U.S. officials, based on Axios sources.
Meanwhile, the conflict in the East continues unabated. Iran's Senior Army Commander calls on Israelis to evacuate Haifa and Tel Aviv immediately amid further missiles attacks.
It cannot be ruled out that the White House will issue a new statement on this matter in the next minutes or hours. The US100 reacted negatively to these announcements and fell below 21,900 points.
