President Donald Trump held a White House Situation Room meeting to discuss military response options involving Iran, Walter Bloomberg reported.
Trump met with his national security advisers on June 10 and reviewed military options against Iran, according to the report.
The meeting came as tensions between the US and Iran escalated after a recent incident involving a US Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump had previously said the US would "attack Iran very strongly," signaling a hard-line response.
At the same time, the US and Iran are continuing negotiations over Tehran's nuclear program and sanctions relief. Iran, however, has said it will reject direct trilateral talks with the US in Doha, Qatar, and will continue only indirect negotiations.
Markets are watching whether the US moves ahead with military action and whether US-Iran talks make progress, as both could drive international oil prices and volatility across global financial markets.
