U.S. President Trump is considering relaunching military strikes against Iran after the midterm elections. He has sent an additional USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier and 9,000 to 10,000 troops to the Middle East. He has also sent Patriot missile systems to Saudi Arabia and Qatar to protect energy facilities in order to win Saudi Arabia's consent to the use of its airspace by the U.S. military.
