Earlier, media outlets, including CNN, reported that Trump had refused to sign a joint G7 statement calling for de-escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran.

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth confirmed to Fox News that he was heading to an underground command center in the White House, but has repeatedly stressed that U.S. forces in the Middle East and Europe are "defensive" and that President Trump still wants to strike a deal with Iran over its nuclear program.

As Axios writes, citing four informed sources, the aim of the talks would be to conclude an agreement on Iran's nuclear program and end the war with Israel.

The meeting is expected to take place this week.

Trump sees the powerful penetrating bombs in the US arsenal - which Israel needs to destroy Iran's underground nuclear facilities - as a key means of pressuring Iran into making concessions, Axios sources said.
