Should the United States carry out new military strikes against Iran?
US officials reportedly warned Gulf allies to prepare for new strikes on Iran, according to a Europe Today broadcast dated November 6, 2026. Ukraine talks are scheduled to be held in Abu Dhabi next week.
Why it matters
The warning signals Washington is weighing renewed military action against Iran, prompting Gulf countries to react to both the midterm results and the prospect of a new attack. The Abu Dhabi talks on Ukraine place the UAE at the center of two separate diplomatic tracks at once.
The report is based on reported warnings from US officials rather than an official announcement, and no date has been given for any strike. Whether the Abu Dhabi talks will proceed as scheduled is not addressed in the extraction.
