The United States has warned Middle Eastern countries to prepare for renewed military action against Iran after next week's midterm congressional elections. The Associated Press reports this, citing sources. US officials also warned regional allies of the possibility of Iranian retaliation, they said. At the same time, sources emphasized that Donald Trump has not yet made a final decision on launching new attacks on Iran. Washington has told allies that the new phase of fighting could last several days, diplomats said. However, the governments of the countries in the region are preparing for the possibility that Iran and the armed groups it supports may launch retaliatory attacks, which could lead to a longer conflict, the agency writes. US officials also urged allies to take precautions in case Iran's response included attacks on energy facilities and other critical infrastructure. "These threats and new US calls for allies to prepare for possible Iranian retaliation have led the region to prepare for a potential resumption of large-scale military operations that could occur in the near future," the material said. Donald Trump in Russian.
