As peace negotiations between the United States and Iran continue, President Donald Trump was expected to assemble his Cabinet at Camp David, but the meeting is instead going to be held at the White House because of expected bad weather. 

President Trump posted over the weekend that the deal between the U.S. and Iran was nearly complete and only needed to be finalized. Secretary of State Marco Rubio also indicated that an agreement may be imminent, predicting one could be finalized in a "couple of days."

Meanwhile, Iranian leaders condemned recent strikes by the U.S. as violations of the ongoing ceasefire and an indication of "bad faith and unreliability" from Washington.

Tuesday’s response from Tehran came a day after the U.S. military revealed attacks in southern Iran and described the incidents as defensive in nature, happening after boats were spotted laying mines and a missile site locked onto American warplanes.

All Cabinet members are expected to attend the meeting, including outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
