U.S. President Donald Trump's Iran envoys have quietly convened nuclear experts in Tennessee, according to Axios.
The gathering is part of a broader effort to assess and respond to ongoing tensions with Iran, which have seen a range of military and diplomatic maneuvers in recent weeks.
The meeting follows earlier reports of Trump consulting with oil executives and military commanders about potential new options for dealing with Iran.
These developments come amid a backdrop of stalled diplomatic progress and heightened regional instability.
Axios and Bloomberg have both reported on the administration's escalating focus on Iran, with multiple sources confirming the administration's interest in both military and energy-related strategies.
The Tennessee meeting is seen as a step toward evaluating technical and strategic responses to Iran's nuclear activities.
