The White House has released a photograph of US President Donald Trump observing Iran’s launch of ballistic missiles at US bases in Iraq in response to the US’s killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani.
A photograph from the Situation Room captures President Trump alongside his security team on Tuesday night. Also pictured around the table are White House Counsel Pat Cipollone, national security official Keith Kellogg, acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Vice President Mike Pence, Defense Secretary Mark Esper, chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien, White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham, and Director of National Intelligence Joseph McGuire.
The photo, which the White House initially declined to release, as is customary, after US military operations, was divulged by CBS News’ anchor Norah O’Donnell. She indicated that she obtained the photo from Vice President Mike Pence, from whom she also announced an upcoming exclusive interview.
