On October 28, local time, according to the Associated Press, quoting two knowledgeable diplomats, US officials have notified several Middle Eastern countries and regional allies to prepare for another US military action against Iran after next week's midterm elections, while also being wary of possible retaliatory attacks by Iran. Two diplomats stressed that US President Trump has yet to make a final decision on whether to attack Iran again, but Trump has stated many times before that he is considering new military action after the November 3 midterm elections. The report said that the US side has told its regional allies that the new round of military action may continue for several days, but Iran and the armed groups it supports may take retaliatory actions, leading to a further extension of the conflict. US officials are also urging allies to take precautions to prevent Iran from attacking energy facilities and other critical infrastructure. White House and US officials declined to comment. Iranian Foreign Minister Alagzi said on the same day that Iran is still creating opportunities for diplomatic dispute resolution and is discussing with the mediators a plan to resume the cease-fire.
