  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nThe United States is weighing new military strikes on Iran, CBS News and Axios reported Friday, as negotiations between Washington and Tehran remain stalled.\n\nNo final decision has been made, both outlets said, and Pakistan's military chief traveled to Tehran in a last-ditch diplomatic effort to seal a deal.\n\n### What are US media reports saying about possible Iran strikes?\n\nCBS News reported that the Trump administration was preparing for a fresh round of military strikes against Iran, citing sources with knowledge of the planning.\n\nAxios, citing two unnamed sources, reported that Trump had \"grown increasingly frustrated\" with the Iran negotiations over the past several days and that his position through the week had shifted from favoring diplomacy toward ordering a strike.\n\nCBS also reported that members of the U.S. military and intelligence apparatus were canceling holiday weekend plans in anticipation of possible strikes.\n\n### Why did Trump cancel his weekend travel plans?\n\nTrump said Friday he would not travel to attend his son's wedding this weekend due to \"circumstances about government\" and his \"love for the United States of America,\" adding it was \"important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time.\"\n\nThe White House earlier announced he would also not travel to his New Jersey golf resort as planned. Trump did not take questions from reporters upon returning from a speech in New York state on Friday.\n\n### What has the White House said about the Iran strike reports?\n\nThe White House did not comment on the reports when AFP inquired. A White House spokesperson, Anna Kelly, told CBS that \"the President has been clear about the consequences if Iran fails to make a deal.\"\n\nWashington wants Iran to give up its enriched uranium, stop enriching uranium inside the country, accept permanent limits on missiles, and cease support for armed groups in the region, according to reports.\n\n### What is Pakistan doing to prevent new US strikes on Iran?\n\nNegotiations remain ongoing, with Pakistan acting as mediator between the U.S. and Iran. Pakistan's military chief flew to Tehran on Friday in an attempt to seal a deal before any new military action.\n\nPakistan has positioned itself as a key diplomatic broker between Washington and Tehran since the conflict began, with Islamabad receiving significant U.S. recognition for its mediation efforts.",
