Trump ‘reveals he’s split 50/50’ between two crunch Iran War choices as JD Vance races to White House ahead of crucial phone call… while more bombing ‘could be just HOURS away’

Vice President JD Vance rushed back to the White House ahead of a crucial phone call with war negotiators, as President Donald Trump said he’s 50/50 on agreeing to a peace deal or ‘blow Iran to kingdom come.’ 

Video shared on social media showed the armored motorcade racing down a Washington DC highway with a police escort as the VP’s Memorial Day weekend was cut short. 

It comes as Trump skipped his son’s wedding, citing ‘circumstances pertaining to government’ and telling Axios that on Saturday he would be meeting with his negotiators to discuss Iran’s latest offer, stating a decision would more than likely be made on Sunday.

Trump has reportedly summoned his national security team to attend a meeting this afternoon to discuss the Middle Eastern country.  

Earlier on Saturday, Trump mocked the war-torn country by sharing a map of the Middle East showing Iran filled in with an American flag, titling it the United States of the Middle East? 

The two countries have been engaging in peace talks this week, but it is rumored Trump is preparing for a fresh round of strikes. 

While no final decision had been made as of Friday afternoon, multiple sources told CBS News the strikes were being prepared.

It is unclear if the meeting with his team today will pertain to the rumored prepared strikes.  

Those sources said that administration intelligence and defense officials joined President Trump in canceling their Memorial Day weekend plans and updating recall rosters for US bases overseas.

The president also told Axios he is a ‘solid 50/50’ on whether or not he would take the latest peace deal or ‘blow them to kingdom come,’ the outlet reported. 

‘I think one of two things will happen: either I hit them harder than they have ever been hit, or we are going to sign a deal that is good,’ Trump said. ‘Some people would much rather have a deal and others would rather resume the war.’ 

The war on Iran has gone mostly quiet since early April, when a temporary ceasefire was agreed, but they have yet to produce a more lasting peace.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said there has been ‘slight progress’ in peace talks, just days after Trump said he was holding off on a military strike against the Islamic Republic because ‘serious negotiations’ were underway.

Trump has been threatening for weeks that the ceasefire reached in mid-April could end if Iran does not make a deal, with shifting parameters for striking, such as an agreement.

Rubio said he did not want to exaggerate the progress, saying there had been ‘a little bit of movement and that’s good.’

Repeated claims of progress have emerged in recent weeks, but a deal has stayed out of reach.

Trump has repeatedly set deadlines for Tehran and then backed off. But he has also previously indicated he would hold off on military action to allow talks to play out, only to turn around and launch strikes.

A former top-ranking Navy commander has revealed that he believes President Donald Trump is preparing the military for renewed combat operations in Iran.

The US-Israeli-led military operation in Iran has dragged on since the end of February, leaving gas prices surging due to the Strait of Hormuz’s closure and cities devastated across the Middle East.

Retired US Navy Commander Kirk Lippold told Fox News on Friday night that he believes renewed combat operations are on the horizon, defiantly declaring that ‘it’s a matter of not if, but when.’

‘President Trump right now, I think, is giving the United States military that opportunity – to rearm, refuel and be ready for combat operations,’ he said.

Lippold said that Admiral Cooper, the senior US military officer overseeing the Iran War, has briefed Trump, signaling the potential renewal of military strikes.

‘At the end of the day, I think that the Iranians understand that we are going to now take down their economy and potentially take down their economic future,’ he continued.

‘And what we need to do is create the conditions for the Iranian people to once again rise up.’

On late Friday, the president has also created tensions again with Greenland, which he wishes to acquire, by repeatedly sharing an AI-generated image of him peeking over the mountains in the country with the caption: ‘Hello, Greenland.’ 

The first post came just hours after the US’ special envoy to Greenland was met with furious protesters when he arrived to open a new American consulate on the island. 

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry received a frosty reception in downtown Nuuk on Thursday, as more than 500 Greenlanders marched through the capital Nuuk waving red-and-white Greenlandic flags and holding signs reading ‘Go Home USA,’ ‘Make America Go Away!’ and ‘We are not for sale.’

‘Greenland belongs to us. It’s our country. It doesn’t belong to Denmark or the United States. We are a people and we live here,’ Greenland resident Grethe Kramer Berthelsen told the AFP during the rally. 

He also posted an AI photo showing a ‘golden dome’ over the White House to keep it protected from any future attacks. 

The Golden Dome is Trump’s version of Israel’s Iron Dome, a military defense mechanism. 

Trump also posted an AI photo of Chinese citizens smiling happily and waving Chinese and American flags with the words: China Loves Trump.
