The media quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that the US has notified several Gulf Arab countries to prepare for a short, high-intensity military operation after the US midterm elections. This news conveyed by the US side through diplomatic and military channels is one of the growing signals: the US and Israel are preparing a new round of large-scale war against Iran, and there is a risk that the situation will seriously escalate. The US side hopes to use this to weaken Iran's strength and force Iran to enter the negotiation table. Officials familiar with the deployment said that the US military is deploying Patriots air defense systems from Texas to strengthen missile defense, while also withdrawing troops from vulnerable bases to prepare for the escalation of the conflict. Some officials said that the US military stationed in the Middle East is replenishing its ammunition reserves, and that bombers and fighter jets are ready to strike. Another aircraft carrier strike group and a Marine Corps expedition unit are planning to join a fleet of about 20 other warships in the Middle East next month, but some of the ships may be rotated and withdrawn. People familiar with Trump's ideas said that the president has yet to issue action orders, but he is inclined to launch large-scale attacks after the election, targeting Iran's infrastructure and nuclear facilities. Another alternative route is to facilitate an agreement. The diplomatic efforts of the regional mediators are still progressing, but have yet to bear fruit.
