The United States has instructed several Arab nations in the Persian Gulf to prepare for a brief but intense military campaign against Iran, according to sources familiar with the discussions cited by The Wall Street Journal. These messages, conveyed through diplomatic and military channels, align with growing indications that both the U.S. and Israel are readying for a new phase of significant military actions targeting Iran.

Official sources told the newspaper that the U.S. military is deploying a "Patriot" missile defense system from Texas to bolster defenses against missile attacks. Additionally, U.S. forces have been moved from bases vulnerable to attack as a precaution against potential escalation. Some sources indicated that American forces in the region are replenishing their ammunition supplies, with fighter jets and bombers being prepared for strikes.

Sources close to the matter suggest that U.S. President Donald Trump has not yet made a final decision on how to proceed. However, he is reportedly leaning towards a broad offensive after the midterm elections, which could focus on Iran's infrastructure and nuclear sites.
