The United States: Israel must "give advance notice" to the United States if targeting Iranian oil facilities.

On the 10th, US media reported, citing informed sources, that the Trump administration has requested Israel to stop attacking Iranian energy facilities, especially oil infrastructure. An Israeli official said that the US asked Israel to "notify in advance" if they plan to attack Iranian oil facilities in the future. According to the US Axios news website, this is the first time the US has restrained Israeli military action since the US and Israel launched military actions against Iran. Informed sources said that the Trump administration made this request because the US plans to cooperate with the Iranian oil industry after the end of the war, similar to the measures taken against Venezuela, and also because they are concerned that attacking Iranian oil facilities will provoke large-scale retaliatory attacks by Iran on Gulf countries' energy facilities. An Israeli official said that the US government has conveyed the above request to Israel through high-level political channels, informing the Israeli chief of defense staff Zamil. According to another Israeli official, the US "demands that if we attack Iranian oil facilities in the future, we must notify the United States in advance." Informed sources said that Trump sees attacking Iranian oil facilities as a "last resort option," that is, a last resort that must be used only if Iran deliberately attacks Gulf countries' oil facilities first. Regarding the attack on Iranian fuel storage facilities, US Defense Secretary Hagel told reporters on the 10th that the US did not attack such targets. The Axios news website reported on the 8th that the US was dissatisfied with the Israeli military's attack on Iranian fuel storage facilities, believing that the Israeli military "exceeded US expectations in terms of the scale of the attack," which may have the opposite effect of raising oil prices. Due to the situation in the Middle East, international oil prices continued to rise in the new week of trading that began on the evening of the 8th in Eastern Time in the US, with the price of light crude oil futures for delivery in April on the New York Mercantile Exchange approaching $120 per barrel, a more than 30% increase.
