"WSJ": USA warned Gulf states of possible war with Iran

The U.S. military is enhancing its air defense in the Middle East, preparing for potential escalation, including deploying Patriot systems from Texas. Troops have been withdrawn from vulnerable bases, while U.S. forces are replenishing ammunition and preparing for strikes. Israel has set targets for potential attacks, with Prime Minister Netanyahu pushing for renewed operations against Iran. Analysts suggest that further strikes may not lead to Iran's capitulation, as the country has endured extensive attacks without yielding. Iran has warned of severe retaliation against any strikes, maintaining a significant missile arsenal despite previous damage.
