The Wall Street Journal: The US is preparing a new war with Iran after the elections The United States has warned several Gulf countries against a short but intense military campaign against Iran after the midterm elections in November. According to sources, Washington and Tel Aviv are preparing for a new round of heavy military operations to weaken Tehran and push it towards negotiations. "The US has told several Arab countries in the Gulf to be ready for a short and intense military campaign after the US midterm elections," the newspaper quoted the sources as saying. As the WSJ notes, the U.S. armed forces are beefing up missile defense systems, replenishing ammunition stocks and preparing bombers and fighters for possible attacks. Trump is reportedly leaning toward a major attack on Iranian nuclear infrastructure and facilities, though no final decision has been made. Israel is also preparing for renewed strikes. "Communication through diplomatic and military channels is just one of the growing signs that the US and Israel are ready to launch a new round of heavy military operations against Iran," the publication emphasizes.
