Blindspot

The Pentagon said the United States warned Gulf Arab nations of a brief, intense wave of attacks on Iran after the November 3 midterm elections and began stockpiling munitions and readying bombers for potential strikes.
Within this story's sources, this angle appears mainly in Right-leaning coverage and receives less attention in Left-leaning and Center-leaning coverage.

History

After the September 11, 2001 attacks, President George W. Bush secured roughly 88 percent American backing for the Afghanistan invasion, and a multinational coalition backed the effort, with the UN authorizing ISAF in December 2001, framing it as self-defense. That war-time rhetoric became a political tool, and in 2026 former President Donald Trump invoked the same 9/11 language while the Pentagon warned Gulf Arab states of imminent strikes on Iran.
