The Trump administration is preparing for a possible new round of military strikes on Iran, per CBS News. No final decision has been made.

Trump has signaled some flexibility on timing but has also made clear there will be consequences if Iran doesn't make a deal.

Trump canceled his Memorial Day weekend plans and is returning to the White House. He's also skipping his son's wedding, citing "circumstances pertaining to Government." Some military and intelligence officials have also canceled weekend plans as the Pentagon updates readiness posture at overseas installations.

The US transmitted what it called a final proposal to Iran on Wednesday via Pakistan, with a warning that rejection means strikes resume. Iran is reviewing it. Trump said Friday: "Iran is dying to make a deal. We'll see what happens."

Rubio referenced NATO conversations in Sweden about reopening the Strait of Hormuz by military force as "Plan B" if Iran doesn't agree to do so on its own. Iran's IRGC warned that further strikes could widen the conflict "beyond the Middle East."

House Republicans abandoned an effort Thursday to vote on limiting Trump's war authority against Iran after concluding they didn't have the votes.

The US attacks. Oil spikes. Fear of recession allows the Fed to cut in mid June. After which, the US stops the attack, declares Hormuz open, and oil drops. The US gets lower rates, and lower oil. 🤔
