*TRUMP ADMIN PREPARING FOR IRAN ATTACK ON US GULF BASES: AXIOS Trump assembles national security team amid threat of Iran retaliation The Trump administration is preparing for an Iranian attack against American bases in the Gulf in retaliation for its strike on Iran's nuclear facilities this weekend, U.S. officials say.
