ISLAMABAD: U.S. President Donald Trump will chair a high-level National Security Council (NSC) meeting on Friday morning in response to Israel\u2019s military strikes on Iran, the White House confirmed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The meeting, scheduled for 11:00 am (1500 GMT), comes amid heightened tensions following Israel\u2019s announcement that it targeted Iranian nuclear sites, ballistic missile facilities, and senior military officials.<\/p>\n

Israel has warned that the strikes mark the beginning of a sustained military campaign aimed at preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n

U.S. Maintains Distance from Israeli Operation<\/h3>\n

While the White House is closely monitoring the situation, the Trump administration has reiterated that the United States was not involved in the Israeli military operation.<\/p>\n

Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that Washington\u2019s primary focus is on the safety of American personnel in the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not involved in strikes against Iran,\u201d Rubio said, calling the Israeli action a \u201cunilateral decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, confirmed that while there is ongoing coordination between Washington and Tel Aviv, the decision to strike was entirely Israel\u2019s own.<\/p>\n

In an interview with CNN, Danon declined to speculate on whether the U.S. would assist Israel in the event of an Iranian counterattack.<\/p>\n

U.S. Embassies on High Alert<\/h3>\n

Following the strikes, the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem issued a security alert, instructing all government employees and their families to shelter in place until further notice.<\/p>\n

The State Department warned that travel restrictions could be expanded without warning due to the evolving security situation in Israel and the West Bank.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, scheduled diplomatic talks between U.S. and Iranian officials on Iran\u2019s nuclear program \u2014 set to take place in Oman on Sunday \u2014 now appear uncertain in light of the escalating conflict.<\/p>\n

President Trump, who earlier acknowledged the possibility of Israeli military action, expressed hope for a peaceful resolution but confirmed that the U.S. military is preparing for multiple contingencies, including potential evacuations of American citizens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
