US Prepares Possible New Military Strikes Against Iran as Diplomacy Continues

Trump Administration Weighs Fresh Military Action Against Iran

The United States is reportedly preparing for a possible new round of military strikes against Iran as diplomatic negotiations continue over Tehran’s nuclear program. According to officials familiar with the matter, no final decision had been made by Friday, but military and intelligence agencies have begun preparing for potential action.

US President Donald Trump is expected to return to Washington instead of attending a family event, fueling speculation that discussions over Iran have entered a more critical phase.

Military Readiness Increases Amid Regional Tensions

Several military and intelligence officials reportedly canceled Memorial Day weekend plans as the Pentagon updated overseas recall rosters and adjusted troop rotations across the Middle East. The moves come amid fears of possible Iranian retaliation if strikes resume.

The US and Iran have mostly avoided direct military action since an early April ceasefire, allowing time for indirect negotiations aimed at reaching a broader agreement.

Pakistan Plays Key Role in Diplomatic Channel

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington expects a response to its latest proposal through Pakistan, which has reportedly acted as an intermediary between both sides. Iran is reviewing what US officials described as a final offer, with warnings that failure to reach a deal could lead to renewed military action.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has meanwhile warned that further attacks could expand the conflict beyond the Middle East.
