Iran is strengthening defenses around sensitive sites, including nuclear facilities, as it prepares for possible renewed US strikes after the November 3 midterm elections, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.
The report said Tehran has warned regional officials that any new American attack would trigger retaliation across the Middle East.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia’s coalition intercepted a ballistic missile targeting Riyadh, Reuters reported. Houthi attacks have disrupted airport operations, with King Khalid International Airport’s closure extended until Saturday.
In Britain, Prime Minister Andy Burnham said an attempted attack on an air force base was almost certainly directed by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
British authorities have arrested five suspects. Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband summoned Iran’s ambassador, while Trump said US long-range bombers had been moved out of Britain following a threat.
