## Summary

Admiral Brad Cooper, the US commander for the Middle East, has reportedly briefed President Donald Trump on options for renewed attacks on Iran. The meeting comes as Trump considers military action after the 3 November midterm elections, with regional allies warned to prepare for possible strikes and Iranian retaliation.

The White House meeting on Thursday also included Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman General Dan Caine, and reportedly covered whether to continue the US blockade in the region. US officials have told several Middle Eastern countries that any new action could last several days and urged precautions for possible Iranian strikes on energy sites and other critical infrastructure. The article also reports that Army Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia was removed from a Joint Chiefs strategy post amid an ongoing investigation into alleged leaks of classified information; the Pentagon says CENTCOM, led by Cooper, is responsible for Iran war planning.
