CBS News reported on Saturday that President Donald Trump, the Pentagon, and intelligence agencies are preparing to resume military strikes on Iran within the next 72 hours.
The network quoted informed sources as saying: “As of Friday evening, no final decision had been made regarding the possibility of launching new strikes.”
The sources added that some military and intelligence leaders cancelled their plans for Memorial Day weekend in anticipation of possible attacks.
According to sources at the US channel, defense and intelligence officials have begun updating call-up lists for US facilities abroad, with troops stationed in the Middle East rotating out of the theater, as part of an effort to reduce the US military footprint in the region amid concerns about possible Iranian retaliation.
