Despite escalating tensions, a diplomatic statement from the US administration has brought some relief to Iran, as Israel refrained from further attacks on Iran's oil and energy infrastructure.
US President Donald Trump's administration requested Israel to refrain from attacking Iran’s oil and energy installations, marking the first time such a directive was issued during the ongoing 11-day joint operation.
The US believes that these attacks are aimed at mobilizing public support against the Iranian regime, rather than damaging infrastructure on the ground. This reflects the administration's concerns about the health of the Iranian people, who have suffered recent toxic smoke and acid rain incidents affecting Tehran.
The US remains committed to planning future cooperation with Iran's oil sector, while also warning that Iran may retaliate against Gulf energy installations if provoked.
Amidst the conflict, the US administration continues to consider attacks on Iranian oil installations as a 'doomsday option,' intending to use it only if Iran deliberately attacks Gulf oil installations.
