US President Donald Trump has said Israel will not attack Iran’s valuable South Pars gas field unless Tehran “unwisely decides to attack a very innocent, in this case, Qatar”. The remarks came after Tehran escalated strikes on its Persian Gulf neighbours’ energy facilities, hitting the world’s largest gas facilities in Qatar after Israel attacked Iran’s South Pars offshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) field that it shares with Doha.
The American commander-in-chief claimed that Israel acted “out of anger” over the war and acted out “violently” and that the “United States knew nothing about” the Israeli action against the Iranian Gas Field.
