Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, communicated with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on May 23, asserting that the United States is obstructing peace negotiations with its 'excessive demands.' Araghchi accused the US of undermining diplomatic efforts through broken promises and military aggression while reaffirming Iran's commitment to truce talks. Guterres supported diplomatic engagement to restore regional stability and condemned any use of force against sovereign states. Concurrently, the Trump administration is reportedly preparing for a new round of military strikes against Iran, although no final decision has been made. This situation has led to some members of the US military and intelligence community canceling their Memorial Day weekend plans. President Trump, who was expected to spend the holiday at his golf property in New Jersey, will instead remain at the White House, citing 'circumstances pertaining to government.' He expressed regret over missing his son Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding but emphasized the importance of his presence in Washington during this critical period.
