According to three sources familiar with the matter, the Trump administration has demanded that Israel halt further airstrikes against Iranian energy facilities, particularly oil infrastructure. This is reportedly the first time the US has exerted significant restraint on Israeli military operations since the start of the joint US-Israel military action against Iran. Reasons cited by the US for this demand include the potential to drive up global oil prices and trigger a large-scale Iranian retaliation against energy infrastructure in the Gulf region. The sources stated that the Trump administration considers attacks on Iranian oil facilities a "last resort," only to be taken if Iran launches a preemptive strike against energy facilities in Gulf states.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that White House Press Secretary Janet Levitt stated that the U.S. military action against Iran "will lead to a decrease in natural gas prices in the long run." "The recent rise in oil and gas prices for the American people is temporary, and in the long run, this action will lead to a decrease in natural gas prices," Levitt said. She added that Trump and his energy team "are closely monitoring the market, speaking with industry leaders, and the U.S. military is continuing to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and developing further plans, as directed by the President." When asked about the timeline for the action against Iran, Levitt stated that the military action against Iran will end when Trump determines that the objectives have been achieved and Iran has surrendered unconditionally. "Ultimately, when the Commander-in-Chief (Trump) determines that the military objectives have been achieved, fully accomplished, and Iran is in a state of complete and unconditional surrender, whether they acknowledge it or not, the military action will end," Levitt said.
