Trump met at the White House on Thursday with the top US military commander to review options for attacking Iran, according to the Wall Street Journal, in reporting by G1.

Senator Chris Murphy said he had been briefed on the US plan to restart the war on Iran and called the proposal insane, saying it would lead to a devastating escalation, according to the Middle East Eye. He spoke after US media reported on Wednesday that the United States had warned several Gulf Arab countries to be prepared for a short, intense military offensive against Iran after the November 3 midterm elections.
