The Wall Street Journal's claim: Iranian officials have warned that Tehran may launch a ground attack on the territory of neighboring countries in the event of a new US attack / Iran has warned Arab officials that it is possible to target regional targets, including Saudi oil facilities / Tehran has told mediators that it will target American forces more intensely; including by trying to sink warships and kill their crews 1405/07/21 - 12:07 The Wall Street Journal claimed: Iran is strengthening its defense and threatening America and its Persian Gulf allies with a wider and stronger response in order to prepare for possible American attacks and prevent them from happening.

According to the selection report, it is further stated in this article: Iran is strengthening its defense and threatening America and its allies in the Persian Gulf with a wider and stronger response. Tehran is preparing for possible US attacks after the mid-term elections and is trying to prevent Washington from attacking with these measures.

Iranian officials have warned in public statements and private conversations with regional officials that if America launches new attacks, the Islamic Republic will escalate tensions throughout the Middle East.

Satellite images show that Iran is strengthening sensitive areas, including nuclear facilities and border areas, to make these areas more resistant to attack.

Sanam Vakil, director of the Middle East program at London-based think tank Chatham House, said: "Being in a state of war has worked out for them for now because there is deadlock on multiple fronts, including diplomatic, economic and political fronts." "With the occurrence of a new war, Iran may be able to break the deadlock."

In an effort to prevent America from a possible attack, some Iranian officials have implied that their forces may invade the territory of neighboring countries. This issue has been stated by people who know about these warnings.

Mohsen Rezaei, Iran's senior national security official, said on Sunday that Tehran may target the United Arab Emirates; A country that has largely escaped attacks since late spring. He also spoke about the possibility of targeting data centers and internet cables throughout the region.

Tehran has also separately warned Arab officials that it may target regional targets, including Saudi Arabia's oil facilities, if clashes resume. According to some of these people, such attacks add to the threat that Saudi Arabia is facing from Yemen's Ansarullah forces; The Houthis attacked the international airport of the Saudi capital over the weekend.

The US military is also preparing for the possibility of returning to war. As reported by the Wall Street Journal, the third US aircraft carrier battle group and another Marine Expeditionary Force unit are on their way to the Middle East. The Pentagon is also considering sending more air defense equipment and ammunition to bases in the region.

US President Donald Trump ruled out an attack before the November 3rd mid-term elections last week; However, he has publicly raised the possibility of attacking the Koh Kalang nuclear site in Iran. American officials have also said that the military is preparing a range of options for new attacks.

Efforts by both sides to bolster their fighting capabilities show that, more than seven months after the start of the war, neither feels compelled to give up on a conflict that has largely stalled.

Instead, both sides try to break the deadlock to their advantage. America has intensified the campaign of economic pressure and is increasingly successfully allowing oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran has also increased its attacks on ships in the Persian Gulf region. At least three merchant ships were targeted in or around the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend, according to the UK's Royal Navy's Merchant Marine Operations Organisation.

Ansarullah forces' missile attack on Riyadh airport on Saturday left at least 13 dead and hundreds injured. It was the deadliest attack on the US or its Persian Gulf allies in the conflicts related to the Iran war.

The attacks highlighted the vulnerability of key economic targets in the region should Trump decide to resume the war.

According to some people with knowledge of these warnings, the Iranian government has also told mediators that it will target American forces more aggressively if the war resumes; including by trying to sink American warships in the Middle East and kill their crews.

During the September attacks, Iranian missiles came close to American warships. Last week, the Pentagon moved about 12 B-1 bombers from a military base in Britain; This action was carried out following concerns that Iran had planned a drone attack.

Direct conflict between the U.S. and Iran has remained largely at a standstill since late July, when Trump suspended plans for a major escalation. The Wall Street Journal previously reported that one of the reasons for the decision was concern over the stockpile of interceptor missiles needed to defend various targets across the region.

Iran has used this break to rebuild its missile and drone production facilities and renew its weapons stockpile.

Iran has also strengthened protection around nuclear facilities and other security-related shelters.

Last month, Iran tried to make any possible operation by ground forces to penetrate the facilities difficult by erecting passive defensive barriers, including temporary earthen mounds around the Koh Kalang and Natanz nuclear sites. This is based on satellite images from Ventur and analysis by the Institute for Science and International Security, a non-profit organization based in Washington.

Brigadier General Gholamreza Jalali, the official responsible for Iran's emergency planning, told reporters at the end of September that the country's airports, seaports and power plants have prepared for war conditions and have considered shelters and backup reserves to continue operating in critical conditions.

"The Islamic Republic is actively preparing for the next war, both in word and in action," said Behnam Bentaleblou, senior director of the Iran program at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a Washington think tank. From this point of view, the actions of the government are both a deterrent and a part of planning for war.

Mohajerani, in response to a question about the latest status of follow-up on the issue of Iranian pilots during the visit of the Minister of Interior, said: The Ministry of Defense and other related ministries, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, are following up on this issue.

He added: "The government of Qatar has also made a favorable promise in this regard and has always declared its readiness to cooperate in order to clarify the situation of these loved ones."

Israeli media reported receiving an anonymous report about the presence of a bomb on a Delta Air Lines plane that arrived from the United States at Ben Gurion Airport.

According to the selection report, citing Israeli TV Channel 12, after receiving this report, the plane was isolated and an inspection was started to investigate the possibility of a bomb.

Citing security sources, this network reported that the initial assessment indicated that the threat was false, but despite this assessment, the security authorities refused to ignore it.

Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, the emir of Qatar, admitted that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz following the war against Iran has caused a significant disruption in the country's exports.

According to the Emir of Qatar, stating that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the damage caused to Ras Lafan has caused a significant disruption in the country's exports, he said: Qatar's policies before the current crisis have allowed us to manage the consequences of the crisis up to this point.

He added: "Qatar will not get out of this crisis unless it is more flexible and adaptable to global developments."

Al-Thani added: Qatar supplies about one-fifth of the world's liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade, and whatever affects Qatar, its consequences will be reflected in the markets and among consumers.

Emir of Qatar emphasized: We have participated in the efforts to establish a ceasefire and reopen the waterways.

He claimed:: Iran has invaded the territory of Qatar; An action that is a clear violation of the sovereignty of this country.

He continued: Qatar has always preferred to resolve disputes through negotiation and diplomatic and peaceful means. The security of the member states of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council and the preservation of their sovereignty is not an issue that can be ignored.

He said: During this crisis, Qatar has been responsible for defending its sovereignty and playing a role in ensuring the security of energy and the global economy. We will continue to work with our international brothers and partners to keep the region safe and stable.
