​President Donald Trump of the United States says Israel will not attack the South Pars Gas Field unless Iran again attacks Qatar’s liquefied national gas facilities.

 

 

Trump said this in a post on his Truth Social on Wednesday.

 

According to him, if Iran attacks Qatar, the US will respond and massively blow up the South Pars gas field.

“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 authorize 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,” Trump said in the post.

 

The president noted that the US was not made aware in advance of Israel’s attack on South Pars on Wednesday, an escalation in the conflict.

 

 

He equally also claimed that Qatar was also not aware that Israel would strike the Iranian gas field.

 

“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 wrote.

 

Iranian state media said Wednesday that Israel attacked Iran’s South Pars Gas Field, one of the nation’s largest gas resources and a key lifeline for Iran.
