Amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, former President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Iran regarding the South Pars Gas Field. Trump criticized Israel for its attack on the gas facility and threatened retaliatory action if Iran continues to target Qatar.
In a statement on Truth Social, Trump denounced Israel’s strike on the South Pars Gas Field as an act of aggression driven by regional turmoil. He emphasized that the US had no prior knowledge of the attack and clarified that Qatar was not involved. Trump cautioned that any further attacks by Iran on Qatar would prompt a massive response from the United States, potentially resulting in the destruction of the entire gas field.
Expressing reluctance towards extreme measures, Trump highlighted the potential consequences of such actions on Iran’s future. However, he made it clear that protecting Qatar’s interests would not be compromised. The warning follows a series of missile strikes by Iran on Gulf countries, including Qatar’s Ras Laffan gas facility, which suffered significant damage.
Meanwhile, explosions have rocked Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with casualties reported due to intercepted missiles. The attacks were carried out in retaliation for Israeli strikes on Iran’s South Pars gas field. Qatar condemned the missile assault on its facilities, labeling the Israeli attack as reckless and irresponsible.
