Donald Trump pushed back on earlier reports, saying the United States had “no knowledge” of Israel’s strike on Iran’s South Pars Gas Field.
He added that Qatar “was in no way, shape, or form involved” and had no prior awareness of the attack, arguing that Iran’s retaliatory strike on a Qatari LNG facility was “unjustified.”
Trump also warned that no further Israeli strikes on the South Pars field will occur unless Iran escalates again. In that case, he said the U.S. would respond forcefully, stating it could “completely destroy” the facility with overwhelming power if Iran targets Qatar again.
