US warns allies to prepare for possible Iran strikes after elections
Washington has alerted Middle East allies to brace for potential military action against Iran after the US midterm elections, warning of possible energy infrastructure retaliation.
The United States has warned its Middle Eastern allies to prepare for possible military action against Iran following the country's mid-term elections on November 3, according to diplomatic sources. Two unnamed diplomats told the Associated Press that the U.S. has not made a final decision on launching new strikes, despite President Donald Trump's repeated statements of considering military action.
Washington has informed its regional partners that the next round of operations could last several days and urged them to take precautionary measures against potential attacks on energy infrastructure and critical facilities. The Pentagon has deployed a fleet of 20,000 troops and hundreds of aircraft to the region, including the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi expressed Iran's continued willingness to engage in diplomacy, highlighting ongoing negotiations with mediators and the rejection of a proposal by U.S. President Donald Trump.
