The United States has alerted several Persian Gulf nations to prepare for a possible short and powerful military campaign against Iran, which could commence after the U.S. midterm elections on November 3. The Wall Street Journal reported the warning, noting that President Donald Trump has not made a final decision but is leaning towards a broad strike targeting Iran's strategic infrastructure and nuclear facilities.
U.S. military forces are increasing their readiness in the region. This includes reinforcing air defense systems, relocating forces from bases vulnerable to Iranian attacks, replenishing ammunition, and preparing fighter jets and bombers for potential operations. Israel is also reportedly preparing for the possibility of renewed strikes against Iran.
The White House declined to comment on military plans but emphasized that President Trump is keeping all options open to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. The report comes just a day after Israeli elections, where the Iranian threat was a central theme in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's campaign.
Trump had publicly endorsed Netanyahu before the elections, urging Israelis to vote for him and stating, "We must finish the job we started." Netanyahu, in turn, claimed Trump was ready to complete the mission of removing the Iranian threat together. The news of the potential U.S. military preparations lends further significance to these statements.
