Trump Plans Major Strikes on Iranian Energy Infrastructure

Donald Trump intends to launch severe military strikes against Iran's energy infrastructure, including power plants and refineries, during the coming weekend. The plan was discussed during a cabinet meeting at Camp David on July 31, with officials suggesting the operation conclude before financial markets open on Monday to minimize global economic disruption. Potential targets include the electricity supply to Tehran.

This escalation follows a confirmation from United States Central Command that American forces resumed bombing operations against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on July 30 in response to attempted attacks on U.S. forces in the Middle East. President Trump stated the U.S. intends to hit Iran "very hard," while White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt affirmed that Iran will not obtain a nuclear weapon under his watch.

Reports on Israeli involvement remain contradictory. Some U.S. sources claim Israel is coordinating the moves, while an official from the Government of Israel told CBS News that the country is unaware of a decision to restart full military operations and has not been requested to join any military actions against Iran.
