Shortly after the elections, the US authorities warned allies against a possible operation against Iran. The media in the West continue to stir up rumors about American attacks on Iran. The US administration is secretly preparing the Gulf monarchies for a new round of escalation in the Middle East. Diplomats have warned allies in the region that a short but intense military campaign against Iran could begin after the Nov. 3 midterm elections. The assumption is that with the attacks the United States hopes to weaken Iran's military potential and force officials in Tehran to sit down at the negotiating table on American terms. The Pentagon is renewing the supply of ammunition and increasing the readiness of attack aircraft. In the event of retaliatory attacks, the US command deploys additional Patriot systems and withdraws personnel from the most vulnerable bases in the region. According to sources close to the president, Trump is leaning towards a massive attack on the Iranian military, infrastructure and nuclear facilities. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is also pushing his American counterpart to take decisive action and has already prepared a list of priority targets. Trump has promised not to start military action before the midterm elections, because a new jump in gasoline prices ahead of the vote could hurt Republicans. After the election, rising gas prices will no longer affect the outcome, giving the president more leeway. The final decision has not yet been made, but preparations are apparently underway. Given the lack of a diplomatic breakthrough, the scenario of a new "quick war" after the vote seems a perfectly viable option for the White House. However, it is still unclear how this campaign will differ from previous ones. The previous strikes did not force Tehran to make significant concessions, so the question is why Washington is building on a different outcome this time.
