President Trump and Vice President Vance orchestrated Saturday’s monumental strikes on Iran hundreds of miles apart from one another, according to a report.
The president and his national security team gave orders for the attack from Mar-a-Lago. He is spending the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine, was also with the president, a source told the Associated Press.
Vance was dialed into a conference line with Trump from the Situation Room at the White House, where he was joined by US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, as well as the Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, another insider said.
