Parliament is expected to be recalled on Friday to discuss the UK's role in air strikes against Islamic State, the BBC understands
There has been no official confirmation but an announcement could come later.
It is understood there has been a reluctance to make the announcement while Labour's conference is under way.
It is also understood that there will be a formal request from the Iraqi Prime Minister later on Wednesday for the UK to join in air strikes.
David Cameron told NBC News in the US that the fight against Islamic State (IS) militants was one "you cannot opt out of".
IS, also known as Isil and Isis, has taken control of large areas of Iraq and Syria in recent months.
"It has oil, it has money, it has territory, it has weapons and there's no doubt in my mind it has already undertaken and is planning further plots in Europe and elsewhere," Mr Cameron said.
The US and five countries from the Gulf and Middle East have begun bombing IS in Syria.
IS 'can't be ignored'Labour leader Ed Miliband told BBC Breakfast he was "open to the possibility" of supporting air strikes against Islamic State in Iraq.
"How will I judge any proposal? Whether Britain can have an effect, whether we can succeed and whether it is legitimate and lawful. But I am open to the possibility," he said.
"Before I commit British combat troops I want to look at what the proposition is and the nature of that proposition."
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the threat from IS "can't be ignored".
"ISIL is a threat not just to the stability of the region, and not just a humanitarian threat, but potentially a threat to the UK in the sense it can harbour terrorism," he said.
However, air strikes against IS in Syria would be likely to need a UN security council resolution to gain Labour support, Mr Miliband added.
Mr Cameron faced a Commons defeat last summer over air strikes in response to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's use of chemical weapons.
BBC Political Editor Nick Robinson says that because of Labour concerns, Parliament will be asked to approve UK involvement in military action in Iraq, but not in Syria.
The UK is already providing arms and surveillance support to Kurdish forces which are battling IS.
