The United States has alerted several Persian Gulf nations to prepare for a possible short but intense military campaign against Iran, according to The Wall Street Journal. The potential action is reportedly planned for the period following the U.S. midterm elections in November. U.S. military forces are said to be bolstering missile defense systems, replenishing ammunition, and readying bomber and fighter jets for potential strikes. President Donald Trump is reportedly leaning towards approving a significant attack on Iran's nuclear infrastructure and facilities, though a final decision has not yet been made. Israel is also preparing for a potential resumption of strikes. This news emerges amid other reports of escalating tensions. Earlier reports indicated that the U.S. and Israel had developed specific plans for new strikes on Iran after the midterm elections, with Trump stating that any decision on a new attack would be made only after the elections. NPR reported that the U.S. is increasing its forces in the region to be ready for a strike in early November, but these preparations could also be a tactic to pressure Tehran into reaching an agreement. The U.S. midterm elections are scheduled for November 3rd.
