The New York Times reports disagreements between Israel and U.S. over Iran war objectives
According to the Times, both U.S. President Trump and the commander of U.S. Central Command, Brad Cooper, warned Israel against striking these oil facilities, fearing they would cause Iran to retaliate by attacking additional energy facilities in the Gulf.
However, Israel ignored this and struck the facilities a week ago, causing massive fires and a rise in oil prices. The White House, it was written, became convinced that Netanyahu "wanted dramatic scenes of Tehran covered in black smoke of destruction."
