Diplomacy is under way behind the scenes to ease tensions in the US-Iran conflict, CNN reported on Friday, citing US officials.

The US has been deliberately striking and then pausing to avoid escalation and let diplomacy work, one US official said. It is maintaining a target list as leverage.

Multiple officials reportedly said there were preparations for potential US strikes on Friday night if needed, but that diplomacy was currently being given priority.

Earlier today, aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea, flight crews armed fighter aircraft while pilots conducted training exercises to prepare for any potential strike missions.
