US EditionTrump says Israel attacked Iran gas field without US and Qatari involvement, warns against attacks on Qatar
Trump denies U.S. involvement in Israel’s strike on Iran’s South Pars gas field and warns Iran against further attacks on Qatar, threatening to target Iranian gas facilities.

- Analysts warn the conflict is drifting into a "war of attrition" as Iran restricts traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, and Trump is considering sending thousands more U.S. troops to the Middle East.
