US Considers Striking Iranian Energy Facilities Amid Rising Tensions
Following statements by White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt, a senior US official told CBS that the United States is considering military strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure in the coming days. President Donald Trump is reportedly weighing the option but has not yet authorized any action. The planned operation reportedly includes coordination with Israel.
Leavitt reiterated that Iran will continue to "pay a price until they come to the negotiating table," as defined by President Trump. She emphasized that the US had entered into an agreement with Iran, which Tehran violated by attacking commercial vessels and killing American citizens. Leavitt warned that President Trump will not tolerate such acts of terrorism.
This development comes amid escalating tensions between the US and Iran, with the White House signaling a firm stance against Iranian provocations. The situation remains fluid as the US deliberates its next steps, with potential military action looming over the weekend.
