Clash Report, citing Axios, reported at about 14:06 UTC on 5 October that President Trump's top national security aides held a secret, hours-long meeting at Camp David to discuss the Iran war and the Saudi-Houthi conflict in Yemen. Vice President Vance chaired it, joined by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, envoy Steve Witkoff, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, General Dan Caine and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent; one US official said major Middle East issues were decided or at least deeply discussed. An event already published on this platform covers an earlier Vance-chaid meeting on 2 October; this one is reported as covering the Saudi-Houthi front as well and is published separately because the accounts differ in date and in the conflicts on the agenda.
