U.S. military strikes against Iran. President Trump canceled Memorial Day weekend plans and returned to the White House, citing government circumstances. U.S. military and intelligence personnel also scrapped holiday plans. The White House and the Department of Defense did not immediately respond to requests for comment. No final decision on strikes has been made, according to the report.
U.S. nuclear proposal delivered Wednesday. The proposal included a warning that rejecting the offer could result in renewed strikes. Iran's supreme leader has directed that the country's enriched uranium stockpile must not be sent abroad. This stance directly contradicts Washington's core demand in the negotiations. President Trump stated that Iran is dying to make a deal.
U.S. warnings tied to Iran's nuclear activities. Officials have not disclosed specific targets or timing for any potential strikes.
