Trump Considers Iran Strikes This Weekend

Trump Weighs Potential Iran Strikes Amidst Ongoing Discussions

Washington - Top national security officials informed President Trump that the military was prepared for potential strikes on Iran as early as Saturday, though a final decision had not been made, according to sources familiar with the discussions. The conversations were described as fluid and ongoing, as the White House considered the risks of escalation and the political and military consequences of restraint, CBS News reported.

Over the next three days, the Pentagon was moving some personnel temporarily out of the Middle East region, primarily to Europe or back to the United States, ahead of potential action or counterattacks, CBS News also reported. The timeline for any action was likely to extend beyond the weekend, according to the sources.

In other news, passengers were evacuated via slides at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey after a JetBlue flight experienced engine failure shortly after takeoff, ABC News reported. The flight, which departed Wednesday evening, immediately returned to the airport, and the crew reported smoke in the cockpit after landing. The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed the evacuation.

Additionally, a man was detained by police after exhibiting "unruly and unlawful behavior" on a Delta flight that returned to Houston shortly after takeoff, ABC News reported. The flight was headed to Atlanta, according to the FAA. Delta Airlines stated that the safety of customers and crew was paramount and that they had zero tolerance for unruly behavior.

Meanwhile, the FBI had reached out to Mexican authorities in connection with the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, who was reportedly kidnapped from her Tucson, Arizona, home on February 1, 2026, ABC News reported. The FBI released photos and videos of an armed person in a mask in front of her home, appearing to tamper with a security camera.

In a separate development, the Justice Department continued to face departures, with more than 5,000 employees having resigned, retired, or been reassigned, CBS News reported. Michael Romano, a former federal prosecutor, testified at congressional hearings, warning that the Trump administration's actions posed a threat to democracy. "It is an honor to speak with you today," Romano said at a recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
