The Trump administration is hosting senior defense and intelligence officials from Israel and Saudi Arabia for talks on Iran this week as President Trump considers military strikes, two U.S. officials and two other sources with knowledge told Axios.
The Israelis came to D.C. to share intelligence on possible targets inside Iran.
The Saudis, meanwhile, are highly concerned about a potential regional war and are trying to help broker a diplomatic solution.
White House officials say Trump still hasn't made a final decision. While he threatened Iran again on Wednesday with strikes that "will be far worse" than last time, his aides claim he's still willing to explore diplomacy.
