US Considers Strikes on Iran's Energy Sites Amid Rising Regional Tensions
US President Donald Trump is considering fresh military strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure to pressure Tehran into accepting ceasefire terms, with operations possibly starting as early as this weekend. Israel may join the campaign, marking its first direct involvement in weeks. Iran has warned of retaliatory attacks on US and Israeli energy sites across the Middle East if attacked. While no final decision has been made, tensions remain high amid ongoing ceasefire negotiations and regional hostilities, including attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and Gaza.
