Cracks are beginning to appear between the United States and Israel over the strategic objectives of the war against Iran.

President Donald Trump implicitly lambasted Israel late on Wednesday for attacking an Iranian gas field. Trump warned on social media that “NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL pertaining to this extremely and valuable South Pars Field [unless Iran attacks U.S. allied energy sites].” Trump also claimed — not credibly — that Israel had not notified his administration in advance of the strike. Then, on Thursday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told Congress, “The objectives that have been laid out by the president are different from the objectives that have been laid out by the Israeli government.”
