US President Donald Trump has not yet given a final order to strike Iranian energy-sector targets, according to an Axios report citing an unnamed American official. The report, published early Saturday morning, indicates that the decision on strikes against Iran's energy infrastructure remains pending.
The report adds to a series of conflicting signals from the Trump administration regarding its military posture toward Iran. Over recent weeks, the US has conducted multiple waves of strikes against Iranian targets, while Trump has also ordered pauses and hinted at diplomatic openings. This new report suggests that a potential escalation targeting Iran's energy sector remains under consideration but has not been greenlit.
