In a significant diplomatic development, the United States has warned several Middle East countries and regional allies to prepare for potential renewed military action against Iran after next week's midterm elections, as well as the possibility that Iran will attempt to retaliate against them, according to two diplomats briefed on the matter. The diplomats spoke on condition of anonymity.
President Donald Trump has not made a final decision on whether to carry out new strikes against Iran. The president has repeatedly said that he is weighing ordering new military action once the critical November 3 elections in the United States are over.
