US may strike Iran after midterm elections, Gulf allies urge restraint

mk.ru (Russian) —

The United States may launch new strikes against Iran the day after the US midterm elections, according to the MS NOW television channel, citing sources. The attack could begin as soon as November 4. The US administration has reportedly informed several Gulf countries to prepare for a "short, intense round of strikes." Washington's regional allies are seeking de-escalation, fearing Iranian retaliation, and some Gulf nations may oppose using bases on their territory. The US and Israel began a war with Iran on February 28. A ceasefire memorandum was signed in June, but the US resumed large-scale strikes on July 8 before signaling a shift to economic pressure.
