Trump Admin Reportedly Dismayed' With Israeli Barrage on Iranian Oil Depots: First Significant Disagreement'

"The U.S. is concerned Israeli strikes on infrastructure that serves ordinary Iranians could backfire strategically, rallying Iranian society to support the regime and driving up oil prices."

"The Israeli Defense Forces claimed in a statement that the fuel depots are used by the Iranian regime to supply fuel to different consumers including its military organs."

"A senior U.S. official told Axios, We don't think it was a good idea, while an Israeli official said the U.S. message to Israel was WTF."

"The strikes caused oil-filled rain to fall from the sky in Tehran, according to CNN senior international correspondent Frederik Pleitgen. This is what Tehran is waking up to this morning, the sky above the city is covered in very thick black clouds."

Israel conducted strikes on 30 Iranian oil facilities, significantly exceeding what the United States anticipated when Israel provided advance notification. The strikes created massive explosions visible across Tehran and Karaj, with oil-filled rain falling in the capital. The U.S. expresses concern that targeting infrastructure affecting ordinary Iranians could backfire strategically by unifying Iranian society behind the regime and driving up global oil prices. Israel's Defense Forces stated the fuel depots supply the Iranian military and other regime consumers. Israeli officials indicated the strikes aimed to deter Iran from targeting Israeli civilian infrastructure. U.S. officials expressed disapproval, while a Trump advisor noted the president opposes the attack due to concerns about oil prices and gas costs.
