Just before the US midterm elections, assessments are growing that President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are about to renew the war against Iran. The article notes that non-essential workers have been recalled from American embassies in the Gulf, and Israeli Air Force planes have been dispatched to Iran's borders. The author casts doubt on Netanyahu's claim that in the previous war '90% of the goals in Iran' were achieved, given that the nuclear program and ballistic missiles remained intact. A Reuters report reveals that Iranian strikes hit 84 infrastructure targets in the Gulf on 135 occasions. Further, the article reviews tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean: Egypt declared that the maritime memorandum of understanding between Turkey and Libya is void, after the parliament in eastern Libya ratified it. Additionally, Turkey, Qatar, Pakistan and Indonesia signed a security memorandum of understanding named 'Badr' to deepen cooperation in defense industries. Finally, a historical review is provided of Muammar Gaddafi's death on October 20, 2011, and the ongoing civil war in Libya.
