Iran is fortifying its defenses and considering sending troops to invade neighboring countries as it prepares for the US to launch fresh attacks after the midterm elections next month.

President Trump hinted that large-scale strikes on the Islamic republic could resume following the Nov. 3 elections — and Iranian officials suggested they could deter the strikes by threatening to invade the nation’s Persian Gulf neighbors.

Mohsen Rezaei, the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, claimed Sunday that the United Arab Emirates, a favorite target of the regime, could be the ideal target for new retaliation.

Iran has already warned regional governments, both publicly and privately, that the Islamic republic would widen the war if the US renews its attacks, the Wall Street Journal reported.

It is reportedly amassing troops near its borders.

Iran, a nation of 90 million people, shares a lengthy frontier with Iraq and has long had significant influence with Shia’a Arabs in the country.

In May Kuwait — which is just 20 miles from Iran, separated by a narrow strip of Iraq — accused the Islamic Republic Guard Corps of sending a handful of commandos to invade Bubiyan Island, resulting in a firefighter with Kuwaiti troops.

Rezaei defended the idea of targeting the UAE, while accusing the kingdom of providing direct support to US Central Command, which oversees American military operations in the region.

Among the key targets threatened by the regime were Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities, which are already under attack by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, sources told the outlet.

Tehran has also told mediators that it would ramp up its attacks on US personnel in the region, with Iranian officials even threatening US warships overseeing the naval blockade on Iran.

Iran’s previous attacks in the region have targeted US troops in the UAE, Kuwait, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Oman.

Rezaei also suggested that regional data centers and internet cables could also be targeted in the retaliatory attacks.

Military analysts have warned that Iran has rebuilt and improved its missile and drone capabilities, as evident by the surge of attacks on ships along the Strait of Hormuz this month.

Satellite imagery of Iran in recent weeks show how the regime is fortifying its military and nuclear facilities, as well as its border areas in preparation for all-out war to resume.

Reinforcement work has been picking up at Iran’s infamous Pickaxe Mountain and Natanz nuclear sites, including makeshift dirt mounds that would impede a ground assault, according to the Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security nonprofit.
