Weeks of strikes against Iranian military targets have failed to ensure safe passage for commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, the critical waterway for energy that Iran has effectively strangled.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Last week, he set aside, at least temporarily, plans to sharply escalate the U.S. military assault after military advisers warned that a major offensive could dangerously deplete the Pentagon\u2019s already diminished stockpile of Patriot antimissile interceptors and other air defense munitions.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The prospect of a widening war in the Middle East, the vulnerability of key Persian Gulf allies to Iranian attack and a global economic crunch also weighed on the president and his top aides.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/usmovingexpertss.com\/?p=4102\">WestJet flight attendants go on strike after talks fall through<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, speaking Friday from Camp David, Trump said the United States was weighing additional military action against Iran after days of escalating attacks across the region. \u201cWe\u2019ll be hitting them very hard, and you know at some point they\u2019re going to say, \u2018We just can\u2019t take it anymore,\u2019\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The potential risk of escalation prompted security warnings from the State Department.

Last week, two gas tankers, including a U.S.-owned vessel, caught fire after an apparent drone attack at an Egyptian port near the Suez Canal, and missiles flew toward a base housing U.S. personnel in Jordan.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Saudi Arabia carried out joint airstrikes with the United States against Iran-backed militias in Iraq, accusing them of attacking Saudi oil facilities Monday.
