Trump Stops Israel Attacks on Iran Gas Field, Warns Iran Over Qatar Strikes

Trump's Truth Social Post Clarifies US Stance

"Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran. A relatively small section of the whole has been hit. The United States knew nothing about this particular attack, and the country of Qatar was in no way, shape, or form, involved with it, nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen," Trump posted on Truth Social account.
"Unfortunately, Iran did not know this, or any of the pertinent facts pertaining to the South Pars attack, and unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar's LNG Gas facility," he added.

No More Israel Attacks Unless Qatar Targeted Again

Trump also stated, "NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South Pars Field unless Iran unwisely decides to attack a very innocent, in this case, Qatar.”
“I do not want to authorise this level of violence and destruction because of the long term implications that it will have on the future of Iran, but if Qatar's LNG is again attacked, I will not hesitate to do so," he added.

Iran Strikes Qatar's Vital LNG Hub in Revenge

His remarks came in the wake of Iran's threats to retaliate for the bombing of South Pars, which is thought to be the largest natural gas field in the world. Iranian officials warned that they would be targeting five energy facilities across Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar in the near future.
Iran launched missile strikes early Thursday against Qatar’s Ras Laffan Industrial City, which is a key hub for liquefied natural gas. This location is vital to Qatar’s economy and has faced repeated attacks amid the ongoing turmoil.

Strait of Hormuz Shutdown Leads to Global Oil Crisis

The escalating attacks on Qatar and the UAE have put significant pressure on Gulf Arab states, which have been defending against Iranian strikes since the conflict began on February 28. Despite the ongoing assaults on military bases, civilian areas, and energy operations, these states have yet to retaliate against Iran.
Since the conflict erupted,Israel and the US have targeted var ious locations in Iran, including oil facilities. In response, Iran has launched missile and drone strikes in the region, affecting countries in the Gulf. This situation has sent shockwaves through global energy markets, especially after Iran effectively shut down the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for about 20 percent of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas shipments.
