U.S. Expresses Dismay Over Israel's Strikes on Iranian Fuel Depots

The United States expressed dismay over Israel's airstrikes on 30 Iranian fuel depots, carried out without prior consultation. While Israel notified the U.S. military in advance, American officials were surprised by the scale of the operation. The strikes caused massive fires visible across Tehran and filled the capital with smoke. U.S. officials are concerned that targeting infrastructure used by civilians could rally Iranian public opinion behind the regime and destabilize global oil markets.
