Ask what Korea is talking about.

Multiple South Korean outlets report that the US military has completed preparations to launch a large-scale operation against Iran within 96 hours of an order from President Donald Trump. According to CNN, cited by Chosun Ilbo, Dong-A Ilbo, and Yonhap, two US officials said the deployment is complete, and a strike is considered likely after the US midterm elections on November 3. The Korea Times separately quotes US envoy Tom Barrack saying a strike could occur "this weekend." Korean media express concern that the Middle East could again face the risk of all-out war, with Dong-A Ilbo noting the situation may be "hurtling toward a full-scale crisis."
