The Wall Street Journal: The US warns Gulf countries of the possibility of a new short but intense round of the war with Iran after the November 3 elections

The United States has asked several Arab countries in the Gulf region to prepare for a short but intense military campaign against Iran, according to people familiar with the discussions cited by The Wall Street Journal.

The request reportedly concerns a possible operation that would take place after the US congressional elections held midway through the presidential term, scheduled for November 3. The information does not specify which Arab states received the request or what exact form the military campaign would take.

The sources cited by the American publication said the discussions took place as part of preparations for a possible escalation of tensions between Washington and Tehran. It is unclear whether the United States has already decided to launch an operation or whether the request is part of planning for military scenarios.

The information comes from anonymous sources, and no official details have been provided about the nature of the preparations requested from the Gulf states. The choice of November 3 indicates that any potential actions would be planned after the US legislative election.
