Jared Kushner, Witkoff to Shape Trump’s Iran Decision? What Report Reveals

Trump consults envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff while considering limited or broader military strikes amid ongoing talks to pressure Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

  • With a last Geneva round on Thursday, Trump is weighing strikes based on advice from Jared Kushner, presidential envoy, and Steve Witkoff, private-sector adviser and envoy.
  • US officials expect Iran to send a fresh proposal this week, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio will brief Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later this week, as he seeks views from senior officials across the administration.
  • A carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, is expected within days, joining fighters, bombers and refuelling aircraft after White House Situation Room briefings last week, giving Trump options for a sustained air campaign.
  • If talks fail, advisers say Trump may order limited strikes to increase pressure or broader attacks, while Pentagon officials cite limited US anti-missile stocks and Ali Khamenei warns of strong retaliation.
  • As diplomacy continues, the US has shifted more military assets into the Middle East while private‑sector adviser Steve Witkoff has taken part in all Iran policy meetings, advising the president.
