Assessment
The Wall Street Journal says the US has warned Gulf Arab nations to prepare for a possible military offensive against Iran after the midterms.

Gulf allies are being briefed early, which suggests planning has moved past discussion. Watch whether this warning becomes a strike or stays a deterrent.
