US considers new strikes on Iran as Trump remains in Washington

Donald Trump (AFP).

Axios and CBS reported on Friday that the US government is considering launching new strikes on Iran, while Donald Trump changed his schedule to remain in Washington this weekend, fueling speculation about the possibility of renewed hostilities against Tehran.

CBS reported that the US military is preparing for possible new strikes against the Islamic Republic over the weekend.

On Friday morning, the US president gathered his closest advisers to discuss the war in Iran, according to Axios, while CBS indicated that no final decision has yet been made.

Around midday, Trump announced that he would not be able to attend the wedding of his son, Donald Trump Jr., in New Jersey, and that he would have to remain in Washington for “reasons related to state affairs.”

These reports were published as efforts to reach a diplomatic solution continue. The Pakistani army chief, who is mediating in the conflict between the United States and Iran, traveled to Tehran on Friday.
