President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.

Delegations from the U.S. and Iran entered negotiations in June aimed at a war-ending deal based on a memorandum of understanding signed by both countries.

The U.S. and Iran have nonetheless continued to exchange strikes, with the strategic Strait of Hormuz the primary flashpoint.

Trump met with advisers on Iran options today: Sources

President Donald Trump met with top advisers behind closed doors at the White House on Friday to discuss his options on Iran, including the possibility of significantly expanding military action against the country, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

The New York Times first reported on the meeting. Trump has held a number of similar strategy sessions with his national security team in the days since the ceasefire broke down.

Trump did not publicly indicate whether he had made up his mind on what course to take when he fielded questions from reporters Friday afternoon.

"As you know, we're locked and loaded. We're locked and loaded and ready to go, but we're talking to them," Trump said during an event in the Oval Office.

The building targeted was located on the Iranian side of the border, about 8 meters from the border with Iraq, according to the official
