The Wall Street Journal reported on the 18th that President Donald Trump does not want further attacks on Iranian energy facilities following Israel’s bombing of Iran’s largest gas field.
Citing U.S. officials, the WSJ reported that President Trump was aware of Israel’s planned attack on South Pars, Iran’s largest gas field, in advance and supported it as a message regarding the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. However, officials said that President Trump believes Iran received a message through the attack on South Pars and is currently opposed to further attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure.
Officials added that the possibility remains open for President Trump to support further attacks on Iranian energy facilities, depending on Iran’s future actions in the Strait of Hormuz.
