Scene from 'Mar-a-Lago situation room' during Iran airstrikes... Trump wearing 'USA' cap while meeting with staff

The White House released photos of the military operations situation room at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida during strikes on Iran.

On Saturday, the White House posted photos on X, formerly Twitter, showing President Trump meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine, and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles to discuss the Iran strike situation.

The White House captioned the photos: "President Trump monitors U.S. military operations in Iran, Operation Epic Fury, on February 28, 2026."

In the photos, Trump sits at the center of a darkened room wearing a white cap with "USA" written on it. Beside him are Secretary Rubio and Chief of Staff Wiles, with an operations map visible behind them.

Additional photos showed Trump leaning in to speak with Chief of Staff Wiles while Secretary Rubio stood behind them.

Earlier, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on X: "President Trump monitored the situation overnight from Mar-a-Lago with his national security team. The President also spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu." She added: "The President and national security team will continue to closely monitor the situation throughout the day."

Trump previously directed operations from Mar-a-Lago during "Operation Firm Resolve" in January, which involved the arrest and extradition of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The White House also released situation room photos at that time, appearing to show the same location as the current Iran operations room.
