Memorial Day Weekend Could Mark Next Chapter in U.S.-Iran Conflict

The U.S. is reportedly preparing to attack Iran this weekend, according to multiple reports on social media.

President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that he couldn’t attend his son’s wedding this weekend in the Bahamas because of “circumstances pertaining to Government.”

“While I very much wanted to be with my son, Don Jr., and the newest member of the Trump Family, his soon to be wife, Bettina, circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America, do not allow me to do so," Trump wrote. "I feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time.”

Other outlets have reported that national security teams have canceled their plans for this weekend.
