The Washington Post | Pentagon urges restraint after strikes on Saudi oil facilities
Pentagon officials on Monday recommended a restrained response to the recent attacks on Saudi oil facilities, arguing against a potentially costly conflict with Iran, which the administration has blamed for the strike on a key American ally.
In a message posted on Twitter, Mark Esper, who assumed the office of acting Secretary of Defense in June, said government agencies were "working with our partners to address this unprecedented attack and defend the international rules-based order that is being undermined by Iran." |
