US Reportedly Warned Gulf Countries of Possible Strikes on Iran as Early as November 4
The Trump administration reportedly informed its Gulf allies that renewed strikes on Iran could begin as early as November 4, immediately after the US midterm elections on November 3. According to MS NOW, citing three senior Gulf officials, Washington asked countries in the region to prepare for a brief but intense wave of strikes.
The report said Gulf countries, concerned about potential Iranian retaliation, were pressing Washington to de-escalate tensions. One official said some countries might oppose the use of American bases on their territory to launch the attacks.
The White House did not confirm the reported timeline. An official speaking to MS NOW said the administration does not comment on sensitive military plans and that Trump was keeping all options open to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
