While American media outlets are reporting the possibility of a new round of US military attacks against Iran starting this weekend, reports indicate that the Donald Trump administration’s concern about Iran’s retaliatory response against vital energy infrastructure in the region is one of the main reasons for Washington’s caution in determining the targets of this operation.

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): CNN reported, citing two informed American officials, that the United States is planning to launch a new round of attacks against Iran starting this weekend.
According to these sources, the exact scope and targets of these attacks have not yet been finalized and there is a possibility of the operation being canceled.
Donald Trump also claimed at a cabinet meeting on Friday, referring to the possibility of resuming widespread attacks: “We will target them very hard. Eventually, they will say we can’t take it anymore.”
According to the report, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) has prepared various options for expanding the war, including a two-week bombing campaign against Iranian missile positions. Options to target Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear facilities, including the Kokand region, are also being considered.
CNN added that at the same time, the Trump administration is cautious about attacking Iranian energy facilities due to concerns about a possible Iranian response against the energy infrastructure of the Persian Gulf countries and its consequences for the global oil market.
The Wall Street Journal claimed a few hours ago, citing informed sources, that US President Donald Trump has ordered a new attack on Iran.
According to the report, the operation may begin later this week and continue for several days.
The Wall Street Journal claims that the aim of these attacks is to resume widespread military pressure to force Tehran to surrender and return Iran to the negotiating table.
According to media reports, during the 40-day war, when Iran's South Pars facilities were targeted by the US-Israeli coalition, Iran bombed the world's most important gas refinery in Qatar, and Trump immediately apologized to Iran in a tweet and emphasized that "it will not happen again."
Now, in the midst of Iran's threat, America knows very well that the world's most important energy facilities located in Arab countries and Israel are within range of Iran's pinpoint and destructive missiles.
Some of these facilities include;
The Ghawar oil field in Saudi Arabia
The Abqaiq and Khurais facilities in Saudi Arabia
The Zakum oil field in the UAE
The Al Ruwais refinery in the UAE
The North Dome gas field and the Ras Laffan LNG facility in Qatar
The Burgan oil field in Kuwait
The Sitra refinery and the Al Ma'amir facilities in Bahrain
The Leviathan and Tamar gas fields in Israel
