He stated on CNN that these were Israeli strikes.  According to Wright, the United States is not currently planning to carry out strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure. 

Furthermore, the Secretary mentioned that the oil supply issues resulting from the US-Israel conflict with Iran "will, at worst, last a few weeks, not a few months." 

Previously, Iran stated that the United States and Israel attacked four oil storage sites and another energy infrastructure location in and around Tehran on Sunday night. 

On Sunday, the spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Esmail Baghaei, said that the attacks by the United States and Israel on oil storage sites close to Tehran signaled a dangerous new stage in the conflict.
