US President Donald Trump has expressed opposition to any new attacks on Iran’s energy installations following Israel’s strike on the South Pars gas field facilities. The Wall Street Journal, citing US officials, reported that Trump’s stance became clear after the Israeli operation took place on Wednesday.

According to the report, Trump had initially supported the strike to send a strong message to Tehran after Iran allegedly attempted to disrupt navigation in the strategically important Strait of Hormuz. With that objective achieved, he now opposes any further military action against Iranian energy infrastructure.

However, the report noted that Trump’s position is not final. If Tehran again obstructs movement through the Strait of Hormuz, he may authorize renewed targeting of Iran’s energy sites.
