The US administration, including Pentagon and intelligence officials, is preparing for the potential resumption of military strikes against Iran within the next three days, Operative Information Center-OMM reports citing CBS.
According to sources, several American military and intelligence officials have canceled their plans for the three-day Memorial Day weekend, observed in the US on May 25, 2026, in anticipation of the potential strikes. The Pentagon and intelligence agencies have also begun updating personnel lists at US facilities abroad, driven by concerns over a reduced US presence in the Middle East and potential retaliatory measures from Iran. However, CBS emphasized that a final decision regarding the new strikes has not yet been made.
Earlier, Axios reported that US President Donald Trump is inclined to resume strikes on Iran due to growing frustration over the progress of negotiations. Sources indicate that the American leader has been briefed on the current state of the talks and potential scenarios should they fail completely.
Tensions between Washington and Tehran have historically fluctuated over regional security, maritime trade routes, and Iran's nuclear program. The current escalation comes amid heightened diplomatic efforts to secure stability in the Middle East, with international observers closely monitoring the potential impact of any military action on global energy markets and regional security dynamics.
