The United Arab Emirates and Qatar held security drills at airports and other facilities amid fears that renewed U.S. strikes on Iran could trigger retaliation against Gulf states’ infrastructure. As of Nov. 2, Gulf states believed U.S. attacks could come as early as that week. On the same date, President Donald Trump was considering restarting the bombing campaign after the Nov. 3 midterm elections. Some Gulf states sought a diplomatic solution to avert escalation. Three days of Qatari mediators’ earlier Iran talks with Iranian officials over the weekend ended without a breakthrough.
