The Trump Administration was dismayed by the scale and wide-spread destruction caused by Saturday’s strike campaign by Israel against oil infrastructure in and around the Iranian capital of Tehran, which reportedly targeting 30 oil and fuel depots sparking massive fires across the city that continue to burn into Sunday, according to a U.S. official, Israeli official and a source with knowledge who spoke to Axios.
U.S. officials state that Saturday’s strikes went far beyond what the United States expected when Israel notified it in advance, created large fires in Tehran, igniting flames visible for miles and blanketing the capital in heavy smoke. Senior officials in the Trump Administration are concerned Israeli strikes on infrastructure that serves ordinary Iranians could backfire strategically, rallying Iranian society to support the regime and further driving up oil prices throughout the World.
“The President doesn't like the attack. He wants to save the oil. He doesn't want to burn it. And it reminds people of higher gas prices,” a Trump adviser told Axios. An Israeli official said the U.S. message to Israel was “WTF.” A U.S. official says the disagreement and what the U.S. expects in the war is expected to be addressed soon at senior political levels between Israel and the United States.

US President Trump has denied that the US carried out a strike on a girls’ school in Iran's Minab that killed 165 people. Human Rights Watch (HRW) has called for the strike to be investigated as a possible war crime.
