๐Ÿšจ ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท US reportedly warns allies to brace for Iran strikes after the elections, White House rules out any attack before the midterms

  • ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ US diplomats have told allies to brace for possible strikes on Iran, and for Iranian retaliation, after the US elections, according to a US news agency citing two diplomats (newswires, )
  • ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ A senior White House spokesperson says the US will not attack Iran at any point before the midterm elections, and calls Iran very weak economically and militarily (newswires, )

FO view: Together these narrow the timing rather than the risk: no strike before 3 November, but a live threat straight after if Iran rejects the seven-day plan.

Not investment advice.
