US media: Trump hopes Israel will suspend airstrikes on Iranian energy facilities.
According to a report from the Wall Street Journal on the 18th, US officials said that President Trump hoped that Israel would not launch airstrikes on Iranian energy facilities. The report stated that Trump was informed in advance of Israel's attack on Iran's South Pars gas field on the 18th and expressed support, viewing it as a signal to the Iranian government in response to the actual closing of the Strait of Hormuz. US officials said that Trump believed that the Iranian side had already received this message, so he now opposes further airstrikes on Iran's energy infrastructure. US officials stated that Trump may consider airstrikes on more Iranian energy facilities in the future, depending on Iran's actions in the Strait of Hormuz. According to Iranian media reports on the 18th, some petrochemical facilities in the South Pars and Asaluyeh regions of Bushehr province in southern Iran were hit by US and Israeli airstrikes. According to Israeli sources, the airstrikes were carried out by the Israeli Air Force, and the Israeli military is also prepared to launch attacks on Iran's other infrastructure in other countries. On the same day, the commander of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, Tangsiri, wrote on social media that oil facilities related to the United States will be on the same level as US military bases and will face severe attacks. Due to threats from both Israel and Iran to launch more attacks on oil facilities, international oil prices rose on the 18th, with June delivery of London Brent crude futures rising $3.96 to $107.38 per barrel, an increase of 3.83%.
