WASHINGTON (Horn post) Former U.S. President Donald Trump has indicated he does not support additional attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure following a recent Israeli strike linked to the South Pars gas field, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal citing unnamed U.S. officials.
The report said Trump had initially backed the strike as a strategic signal to Iran amid tensions surrounding the vital Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil transit route. However, he is now opposed to further escalation targeting Iranian energy facilities.
Despite this stance, officials told the Journal that Trump could reconsider his position if Iran takes steps to threaten or disrupt the flow of oil and commercial shipping through the strategic waterway.
The South Pars gas field, which Iran shares with Qatar, is one of the world’s largest natural gas reserves and a critical component of regional and global energy supply.
The developments come amid heightened tensions in the Gulf, where energy security and maritime stability remain key concerns for global markets.
