Trump seeks to stop attacks on energy sites as conflict with Iran escalates

President Trump is trying to end attacks on energy facilities as gas fields burn in a conflict involving Iran and Israel. He has warned of massive retaliation after an Israeli strike on an Iranian gas field and threatened to target a major part of Iran's energy industry.

Domestic political opponents are criticizing Trump's handling of energy affordability during the conflict. Meanwhile, his administration has taken some steps to try to curb rising energy costs for consumers.
