Trump Says Israel Attacked Iran's South Pars Gas Field Without US or Qatar Involvement
Trump warned Israel would halt attacks on South Pars gas field unless Iran targets Qatar, threatening US retaliation to prevent further escalation in the Gulf conflict.
- On Wednesday, Israel attacked Iran's South Pars gas field, prompting President Donald Trump to claim the U.S. and Qatar were not involved while warning Israel against further strikes unless Iran targets Qatar.
- Retaliating for the South Pars strike, Iran launched missile attacks against energy facilities in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, fulfilling Tehran's earlier vow to target regional energy infrastructure.
