In the Situation Room, Trump didn’t sit in his usual position at the head of the table. Instead, he sat on one side, facing large wall screens. Netanyahu sat directly opposite, and on the screen behind Netanyahu was the director of Mossad. They convinced Trump to make war on Iran (an Israeli target for over 40 years), even though US experts & Vance disagreed.
