Claims of US Military Shipment to the Middle East and Iran Summit at Camp David

While the news that the USA has started new military shipments to the Middle East, which has been relatively calm lately, draws attention, tensions with Iran are expected to rise again. The tension between Washington and Tehran is rising even more as the USA increases its military mobility in the Middle East and brings new options towards Iran to the agenda. As a matter of fact, it is stated that the American administration is holding important discussions on the issue.

It was claimed that senior executives of the US government held a meeting at the presidential campus, Camp David, to discuss the steps to be taken in the war with Iran and issues related to the war between the Iranian-backed Houthis and Saudi Arabia in Yemen. According to the news of Axios site, three US officials claimed that President Donald Trump's senior staff gathered at Camp David. A similar meeting was last held in June 2025, just days before Israel launched the war against Iran.

Iran and Yemen

Officials stated that the steps to be taken in the US-Iran war and issues related to the war between the Iranian-backed Houthis and Saudi Arabia in Yemen were discussed at the meeting, and claimed that the meeting was chaired by US Vice President JD Vance.

Officials stated that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Trump's Middle East Special Representative Steve Witkoff, US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director John Ratcliffe and US Chief of Staff Dan Caine attended the meeting. One of the officials said that many issues were discussed "in depth" at the meeting.

Warning from Tehran

Iranian Revolutionary Guards Army Spokesperson Hossein Muhibbi said that it would be wise for Washington to adopt a similar approach regarding Iran, citing the US agreement with the Houthis as an example. While Muhibbi pointed out that the USA gave up fighting with the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen and signed a memorandum of understanding, he said, "Although it has been in conflict with Iran for about 16 months, it has not been able to achieve any of its declared goals and has encountered numerous economic, political and social problems. Therefore, it would be better if it learns from its past experiences and accepts Iran's conditions."

It is stated that Tehran is reviewing its field plans in case the USA restarts attacks and is considering expanding its target list to include elements of critical interests in the region. In his recent statements, Trump has repeatedly stated that he will attack Iran with great force if Tehran does not reach an agreement with his administration.

Referring to Article 5 of NATO, Dar stated that a possible attack against one of the three countries within the scope of the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement will be considered as an attack on all countries. Dar stated that more than 6 countries were interested in joining the agreement, but did not share the names of the countries in question.
