American media reported that US President Donald Trump is considering launching intensified attacks on Iran this weekend, especially targeting energy infrastructure. President Trump said during a Cabinet meeting at the Camp David resort in Maryland, "We will hit them very hard, and as you know they will say at some point... we can no longer take it." The Wall Street Journal, citing unidentified American officials, reported that Trump had ordered a new attack aimed at forcing Tehran to surrender, and it could begin at the end of this week. CBS News reported that the United States and Israel are planning to launch joint strikes on Iranian energy facilities, perhaps over the weekend, and may target oil refineries and power generation plants.
