Reports that Washington warned Gulf states about an imminent attack on Iran have drawn no public confirmation from the White House, according to Qatar-based Al Araby Television. Its Washington correspondent, Yousra Amin, says the administration declined to comment on the disclosures reported by The Wall Street Journal.

The distinction matters: the broadcast describes preparations and possible scenarios, not an announced military operation. The studio anchor opens by asking whether US officials have confirmed that Gulf governments received such a warning. Amin's answer is that the White House has refused to address the report.

She then describes what she says are military movements already taking place, including the transfer of Patriot air-defense systems from Texas to Israel and the movement of US troops. She also raises the possibility of another aircraft carrier and Marine forces being sent to the Middle East. Those possible deployments are presented separately from the movements she describes as underway.

Amin interprets the military activity as evidence that President Donald Trump intends to conduct further strikes. She says potential targets could include Iranian infrastructure and nuclear facilities. These are her assessments of possible US action, rather than confirmed targeting decisions.

The report also recounts Trump's remarks in Texas: he said he would determine when the war ends, while leaving Tehran an opportunity to agree to a deal. An on-screen headline attributes to him the possibility of further strikes after the congressional midterm elections.

In the closing discussion, Amin considers how the election outcome and control of Congress might affect the timing of an attack. The broadcast does not establish a strike date or identify which Gulf governments reportedly received warnings.
