REPORT: Trump Administration Preparing for New Iran Strikes as Soon as November 4:
The Trump administration has reportedly warned Gulf allies to prepare for a brief but intense wave of U.S. strikes against Iran as early as November 4, just one day after the midterm elections, according to three senior Gulf Arab officials cited by MS NOW.
The Wall Street Journal previously reported on similar briefings, as Gulf nations scramble to prevent another escalation amid fears of Iranian retaliation.
Some Gulf states may even oppose the U.S. launching attacks from American military bases on their territory.
Trump has reportedly pledged to hold off on additional strikes until after the elections, while tensions remain high over Iranian threats to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and the ongoing U.S. blockade of Iranian ports.
The White House declined to confirm any military plans, emphasizing that Trump is keeping all options available to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
