President Donald Trump met this week with Saudi Arabia's defense minister and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the ongoing war in Iran, now in its sixth month. Netanyahu presented Trump with three strategic options for the conflict, according to reports. The meetings come as the United States and Saudi Arabia face backlash in Iraq after launching strikes on a paramilitary group with ties to Tehran. The strikes have fueled anger in Iraq, raising concerns that the war could widen beyond Iran's borders. The Saudi defense minister's participation underscores Riyadh's deepening involvement in the military campaign. While the White House has not released details of the options discussed, the consultations signal Washington's effort to coordinate closely with key regional allies. The war, which began nearly six months ago, has already caused significant casualties and displacement. Meanwhile, the strikes in Iraq threaten to strain relations with Baghdad, which has sought to avoid becoming a battleground for the conflict. The situation remains volatile as diplomatic and military efforts continue.
