U.S. warns Gulf countries to prepare for a possible short, intense campaign against Iran after November midterms as forces ready defenses and aircraft

The United States has warned several Gulf countries to prepare for a possible short, intense military campaign against Iran after the November midterm elections, The Wall Street Journal reported.

U.S. forces are reinforcing missile defenses, restocking ammunition and preparing bombers and fighter jets for potential strikes, according to the report.

President Donald Trump is reportedly leaning toward a major attack on Iranian infrastructure and nuclear sites, but has not made a final decision. Israel is also preparing for renewed strikes.
