Iran meeting after the elections
US President Donald Trump returned to discussing the Iranian issue with his key national security advisers. According to Axios, cited by Life.ru, this was the first such meeting since the midterm elections to Congress. The meeting took place on Thursday as part of the weekly intelligence briefing, where Trump discussed Iran with his top national security advisers.
“Now we will make a decision”
After the meeting, the president made a brief statement to journalists: “Now we will make a decision.” The wording does not reveal what specific step may follow the discussion — no details about the content of the meeting are available in published reports.
Context: a forecast about war with Iran
Earlier, Life.ru , citing political scientist Svetov, reported a forecast: Trump may attempt to end the war with Iran within 2027, securing terms favorable to Washington and compensating for political losses. In the expert's view, the Republicans' defeat in the elections is more likely to push the president toward increasing pressure on Tehran than toward winding down the conflict. Svetov allowed for possible Iranian concessions on certain issues, but warned that rejecting the American terms could lead to a new escalation. This is the expert's assessment, not a confirmed administration plan; nothing has been reported about actual decisions made at the meeting.
