US Considers Strikes on Iran's Energy Infrastructure Amid Rising Regional Tensions
US President Donald Trump is considering fresh military strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure, potentially beginning as early as this weekend, to pressure Tehran into accepting ceasefire terms. The US and Israel are reportedly coordinating possible joint attacks targeting power plants and oil refineries, though Trump has not given final approval. Iran has warned it would retaliate against Israeli and US energy assets if attacked. The situation follows the collapse of a recent truce and ongoing regional tensions, including attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and US military bases.
