The American president, Joe Biden, met early this Sunday (in Spain) with his National Security Council in the Situation Room of the White House to monitor the attack that Iran has launched against Israel and which could include cruise missiles and ballistics, as reported by White House sources collected by the Efe agency.
This room is used in exceptional situations related to national security. The last record of its use – documented with a historical image – was during the development of Operation Neptune’s Spear, when then-President Baack Obama followed the execution of Osama bin Laden live on May 1, 2011.
The National Security team, meeting emergency this Saturday afternoon, includes the Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin; to Secretary of State, Antony Blinken; the director of the CIA, Bill Burns; to the White House National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Charles Brown, among others.
