US President Donald Trump has advised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to conduct 'surgical' strikes in Lebanon, rather than a full-scale war. The US Central Command has prepared a plan for a 'short and powerful' strike on Iranian infrastructure, but Trump has not approved it. Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf dismissed US pressure, stating that their restraint was intended to give diplomacy a chance. The standoff in the Strait of Hormuz has driven global oil prices beyond $120 per barrel.
