Trump on Truth Social: 'No more attacks by Israel' on South Pars — US will 'massively blow up' entire field if Qatar is struck again
Trump posted on Truth Social that the US 'knew nothing' about Israel's South Pars strike and threatened to 'massively blow up the entirety' of the South Pars gas field if Qatar is attacked again. However, the Wall Street Journal — citing unnamed US officials — reported that Trump approved the South Pars strike in order to pressure Tehran into unblocking the Strait of Hormuz. AP also reported US advance knowledge. Trump: 'No more attacks will be made by Israel' on South Pars — unless Iran strikes Qatar's LNG.
Actor responses
Trump Truth Social: US knew nothing about the South Pars strike. No more Israeli attacks on South Pars. US will massively destroy South Pars if Qatar's LNG is attacked again.
No immediate Israeli response to Trump's public repudiation of the South Pars strike. Trump explicitly stated IDF will not attack South Pars further unless Qatar is struck.
