Scared of the mouse! Trump had to speak out immediately to warn Israel! After the U.S. and Israeli air strikes on petroleum facilities in southern Iran, the U.S. felt something was seriously wrong! On March 18, the Wall Street Journal reported that U.S. officials said Trump hopes Israel will not launch further air strikes on Iran's energy facilities. The previous attacks were a signal to Iran that it had actually closed the Strait of Hormuz, and whether to consider another strike on more Iranian energy facilities depends on Iran's actions in the Strait of Hormuz.
Evidently, why did Trump personally intervene to stop the attacks on Iran's energy facilities this time? The reason is only one: the U.S. is scared of the mouse. It's obvious, that if the U.S. and Israel attack Iran's energy facilities, Iran has clearly stated that it will retaliate by attacking American oil industries in the Middle East. If the situation develops in this direction, the U.S. won't be able to control the already soaring oil prices. Trump certainly knows what this means for the U.S.?
This also proves from the side that Iran still has strong retaliatory capabilities so far, and the U.S. cannot protect its important assets in the Middle East. Of course, although Trump has spoken out, whether the U.S. warning to Israel will be heeded is obviously another question. If Israel ignores it and insists on attacking energy targets, the U.S. may have no choice but to get involved, which is undoubtedly a problem that the U.S. must face.
