US said to believe Iran attack on Israel imminent, Biden to hold situation room meeting

US President Joe Biden will convene his national security team in the situation room on Monday to discuss developments in the Middle East, the White House said, with the US said to believe an Iranian attack on Israel is imminent.

Biden will also speak with Jordan’s King Abdullah, the White House added.

The call comes a day after Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi made a rare visit to Iran amid continued diplomatic contacts by the United States and its partners, including France, Britain, Italy, and Egypt, to prevent further regional escalation.
