Military reinforcements move to Mideast. And, millions of Americans vote early
NPR reported on October 23, 2026, that military reinforcements were heading to the Middle East while some personnel had left parts of the region. The movements point to preparations for possible renewed strikes after the November 3 US midterms, although Trump has not been confirmed to have authorized an attack. The global stakes include the security of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for oil and liquefied natural gas shipments.
