US EditionTrump says Israel attacked Iran gas field without US and Qatari involvement, warns against attacks on Qatar
President Trump denied US knowledge of Israel's strike on Iran's South Pars gas field and warned of massive retaliation if Iran attacks Qatar's energy sites again.
- President Trump issued a stark warning on Truth Social, threatening to "massively blow up" the entirety of Iran's South Pars gas field—the world's largest—if Tehran continues to target Qatari energy infrastructure.
- The threat follows a series of Iranian missile strikes on Qatar’s Ras Laffan LNG terminal, which caused extensive damage and sparked major fires in retaliation for a previous Israeli strike on the South Pars field.
- Trump sought to de-escalate immediate tensions by declaring that Israel would conduct "no more attacks" on the shared gas field, while simultaneously distancing the U.S. and Qatar from responsibility for Israel’s initial "out of anger" strike.
- The president emphasized that while he hopes to avoid the long-term implications of destroying Iran's primary energy asset, the U.S. is prepared to act with overwhelming force to protect global energy suppliers like Qatar.
