The United States is preparing its allies in the Persian Gulf for a possible new military operation against Iran According to the "Wall Street Journal", Washington has informed several Arab countries in the Gulf to prepare for a short-term but intense military campaign that may begin after the midterm elections for the US Congress on November 3. At the same time, the final decision on the start of the operation has not yet been made, and the diplomatic scenario remains the same. In preparation, the United States is strengthening its military presence in the region. In particular, an additional battery of Patriot air defense systems is being transferred from the state of Texas, the missile defense system is being strengthened and personnel are being redeployed from the most vulnerable bases. Against the background of these reports, the American media is increasingly reporting signs of Washington and Israel preparing for a possible renewal of attacks on Iran.
