US Warns Gulf Allies of Possible Short Military Campaign Against Iran After Midterms

US Warns Gulf Allies of Possible Short Military Campaign Against Iran After MidtermsPreviousNext

The US has informed several Gulf Arab countries to prepare for a possible short, intense military campaign against Iran following the November 3 midterm elections. Reports indicate that the US and Israel are readying strikes targeting Iranian infrastructure and nuclear sites, with military assets including Patriot missile systems, additional warships, and restocked munitions being deployed to the Middle East. While President Trump has not finalized a decision, he is reportedly leaning toward a postelection offensive, though diplomatic efforts continue. The White House declined to comment on these sensitive military plans.
