Ask what Korea is talking about.

South Korean media are reporting that the U.S. military has completed preparations to launch a large-scale operation against Iran within 96 hours of an order from President Donald Trump, citing CNN's report based on two U.S. officials. Chosun Ilbo notes that an actual attack would likely come after the U.S. midterm elections on November 3, while Donga Ilbo raises concerns that the Middle East could again face the risk of all-out war. Yonhap and other outlets are carrying the same report. The Korea Times separately quotes U.S. envoy Tom Barrack saying a strike could happen as soon as this weekend. Korean reactions are not covered in the supplied documents, so public sentiment is not reported here.
