According to U.S. officials, Trump believes that “Iran has understood this message,” and therefore he currently opposes further attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure. However, depending on Iran’s future actions in this strategic waterway, Trump may reconsider targeting more Iranian energy facilities again. (CCTV News)
