“Inside the White House Situation Room During Strikes on Iran’s Nuclear Sites” – President Donald Trump
[Washington, June 22, 2025]
During the U.S. military strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, a critical national security briefing was underway in the White House Situation Room, led by President Donald Trump—scenes of which have been captured in newly released photographs from the White House.
The images, published Saturday night on the official White House X account (formerly Twitter), show President Trump seated at the head of the Situation Room table. Flanking him are Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, as well as national security advisers and senior military officials.
The photos clearly depict a tense atmosphere throughout the room. White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles is also seen closely monitoring the unfolding situation.
Through these rare images, the public gets a glimpse of the upgraded Situation Room’s advanced technological infrastructure—featuring sophisticated communication systems, real-time monitoring, and operational command capabilities.
Experts say the photos are not just symbolic; they reveal the reality and secrecy behind the U.S. military decision-making process. While such images are rarely released by the White House, this move is likely a strategic step to influence public perception.
A security analyst noted, “The photos don’t just highlight the Trump administration’s firm stance—they send a strong message of coordinated readiness among U.S. policymakers to both Iran and America’s international allies.”
