According to reports in the US press, tensions are rising again on the Washington-Tehran line. According to CBS News, despite diplomatic contacts with Iran, the Trump administration is keeping a new attack option on the table. Although no final decision has been made yet, preparations for a possible attack continue within the US government and military. President Donald Trump decided to cancel Memorial Day holiday and return to the White House; the reason for this decision was stated as 'conditions related to state affairs.' It was reported that critical instructions were sent to some military and intelligence personnel, and holiday plans were changed or canceled. Defense officials are reviewing personnel recall lists at overseas bases, while troop rotations continue in the Middle East against the possibility of Iranian retaliation. Experts interpret these developments as active attack plans against Iran. White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly stated that a firm stance is taken against Iran acquiring nuclear weapons and that all scenarios are prepared for if talks fail. According to Axios, Trump held a secret meeting with senior members of the national security team to discuss the Iran issue. Sources indicated that if no progress is made in negotiations, new attacks will be seriously considered. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that possible new attacks could spread the conflict beyond the region. Additionally, Tehran is expected to respond shortly to the latest US offer conveyed through Pakistan. It is recalled that in the process that began with US-Israel attacks on Iran on February 28, after a temporary ceasefire on April 8, the parties held permanent ceasefire talks in Pakistan but no results were achieved. US President Trump announced that he unilaterally extended the ceasefire, but no official statement was made by Iran regarding this decision.
