US prepares for new military strikes against Iran as talks continue - CBS

May 22, 2026, 23:29 GMT+1

The Trump administration was preparing on Friday for a fresh round of military strikes against Iran, according to sources familiar with the planning, even as indirect diplomacy continues over the longer‑term standoff, CBS reported.

“No final decision on any new strikes had been reached by Friday afternoon, but defense and intelligence officials began updating recall rosters for US bases overseas and some military personnel cancelled Memorial Day weekend plans in anticipation of possible action,” the report added.

Administration officials said that the Pentagon is kept on constant standby to carry out any decision the president may issue, warning that there would be serious consequences if Iran fails to reach a deal, the report said.
