Trump is expected to hold a meeting with his senior national security team in the White House Situation Room on Tuesday to discuss military action options against Iran.
U.S. Senator Graham said on Sunday he supports the idea of striking Iran's energy infrastructure—a concept previously proposed by Trump. Speaking in an interview with NBC, Graham stated that negotiations between the U.S. and Iran have "hit a wall" and more actions are needed to further weaken Iran. He noted there are still more targets to strike, and the U.S. could take actions to harm Iran, with energy infrastructure being its vulnerability.
The UAE authorities reported that their air defense systems intercepted three drones launched from the western border region, shooting down two of them; the third drone breached the defenses, causing a generator fire in the outer area of the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant. The UAE suspects Iran was behind the attack. Armed groups in Iraq and Yemen backed by Iran have the capability to launch attacks toward the UAE from the west, but no group has claimed responsibility for this incident. The UAE has attributed over 2,800 drone and missile attacks this year to Iran.
Some officials in the Middle East have expressed concerns about whether Trump can achieve a lasting peace agreement, suspecting he may only settle for a framework agreement. A Arab diplomat said that in the Middle East, many people worry that “framework” will become a way to manage crises rather than resolve them.
