Liveblog USA under Trump: Media: US attack on Iran possible this weekend

US media reports suggest a military attack on Iran could occur this weekend, though President Trump has not made a final decision yet.

According to reports from American media, a military attack by the United States on Iran could be possible as soon as this weekend. Discussions surrounding this potential strike have heightened amid increased military presence by the US in the Middle East in recent weeks. US President Donald Trump has reportedly been briefed on the situation but has not yet made a definitive decision regarding any imminent military action.

The intensified US military presence is exemplified by the positioning of aircraft on the USS Abraham Lincoln, indicating a readiness for any potential strikes. In conjunction with this potential military action, the US has also imposed additional visa restrictions on Iranian government officials. Furthermore, there are accusations from the US alleging that China conducted a secret nuclear weapons test in 2020, adding to the heightened tensions in the region.

The situation remains fluid as the Trump administration navigates complex geopolitical dynamics in the Middle East, balancing military readiness with diplomatic considerations. The implications of a military strike on Iran could be far-reaching, not only affecting regional stability but also impacting US relations with other global powers involved in the region.
