Following the midterm elections, President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to resume military strikes on Iran, as indicated by briefings to Gulf allies. The strikes could begin as soon as November 4, heightening fears in the region. The conflict, which started in February after U.S. and Israeli strikes killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, has led to a stalemate with no diplomatic progress. Residents in Gulf countries are anxious, preparing for potential disruptions. Trump has expressed a desire to focus on foreign policy, particularly Iran's nuclear ambitions and its support for proxy militant groups.
