The US has warned Persian Gulf countries about the possibility of a new attack on Iran, with the White House reportedly advising regional governments to prepare for a potential escalation.

Washington is considering a major military operation aimed at weakening Tehran’s capabilities and forcing Iran to negotiate, according to Ukrainska Pravda.

Potential targets include Iranian infrastructure and nuclear facilities.

However, US President Donald Trump has not yet made a final decision on whether to launch the attack. He is leaning toward a large-scale strike after the elections.

The potential operation could significantly escalate tensions in the Middle East, although its timing and scope remain uncertain.
