President Donald Trump has reportedly called a full Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, and all members — including outgoing Director of National Security Tulsi Gabbard — are expected to attend. The get-together will occur at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland, as painstaking ceasefire negotiations with Iran continue.

BREAKING: President Trump will convene a rare Cabinet meeting at Camp David on Wednesday as negotiations with Iran enter a critical phase.
All Cabinet members are expected to attend the meeting, Fox News has confirmed, including outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
The gathering comes as the administration weighs next steps in high-stakes negotiations aimed at securing a broader agreement with Tehran amid a fraying ceasefire.
The official line is that they will be discussing routine administration business, but one can’t help but assume Operation Epic Fury will be Subject #1:
At the meeting, officials will discuss "recent successes of the administration including economy and small business wins, Task Force to Eliminate Fraud highlights, and foreign policy updates," a White House official told the Post.
Negotiations with the Islamic Republic remain torturous because Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is reportedly holed up in a secret bunker somewhere, only communicating by couriers:
UPDATE—CBS reports Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is hiding in a secret location, communicating only through a network of messengers to avoid assassination by Israel.
US intelligence says even senior Iranian officials cannot contact him directly, causing major delays in US-Iran negotiations. Officials described the regime’s underground communications as chaotic and “almost like watching a sitcom.”
Although the president has repeatedly signaled that a deal is close, the Camp David meeting raises questions because it’s a rarely used option usually reserved for major national security issues. Trump has not visited the site frequently in the past:

Although a peace deal seemed imminent, Iran’s leaders, or what’s left of them, continue their bellicose rhetoric:
Tensions remained high between Iran and the United States on Tuesday, threatening to upend fragile diplomacy efforts, as Iranian officials warned of retaliation after American strikes overnight.
Iran’s supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, said in a written statement on Tuesday that the war with the United States had shown that American military bases in the Middle East are no longer safe, while the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps said it would respond forcefully to any U.S. strikes.
The comments were released hours after American military forces conducted what U.S. Central Command said were “self-defense strikes” in southern Iran, the latest incident to strain the cease-fire in place since early April.
Further details of the meeting and its agenda have not yet been made public, but RedState will bring you new developments as more information comes in.
