The US has warned the Gulf states against the possibility of launching a short but intense military campaign in Iran after the mid-term elections. As reported in the "Wall Street Journal", citing sources, the United States informed several unnamed Arab Gulf countries about this. The US military is currently moving a Patriot air defense battery from Texas to bolster its air defense capabilities and withdraw troops from bases where they could be exposed to Iranian fire. They also prepare bombers and fighters for potential attacks. According to reports, Trump is inclined to carry out a large-scale operation, the target of which will be Iranian nuclear infrastructure and facilities, but a final decision has not yet been made. Israel is also preparing for renewed strikes. The White House has already said that it would not comment on "secret military programs that may or may not exist", but stressed that "President Trump is considering all options to ensure that Iran can never possess nuclear weapons". At the same time, the US president, who spoke at the next election rally, said that he could end the war with Iran at any time, "as soon as he wants", and pointed out that the US did not start the war, because Iran has been fighting with them since 1979. According to him, the increase in gasoline prices due to this war is "short-term pain for long-term gain." "Soon you'll be asking 'what the hell happened to Delek? Why is it so cheap?! '" Trump said. Earlier it became known that the United States is urgently transferring several diplomats and their families from positions in the Middle East due to the imminent threat of regional escalation. Moreover, the evacuation is being carried out "in chaos", as one of the sources stated.
