Trump lashes out at Israel for bombing Iran's largest energy field 'out of anger'
President Donald Trump raged at Israel for conducting a bombing campaign in Iran's largest energy field without his consent.
On Wednesday, Israeli forces bombed the production facility for the South Pars gas field, which Iran shares with neighboring Qatar. The facility produces about 20% of the United Arab Emirates' oil and is responsible for 5% of the global granulated sulphur used in phosphate fertilisers, The Guardian reported.
Trump lashed out at Israel on Truth Social and claimed that the U.S. and Qatar were not involved.
"Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran," Trump wrote. "A relatively small section of the whole has been hit. 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."
"Unfortunately, Iran did not know this, or any of the pertinent facts pertaining to the South Pars attack, and unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar’s LNG Gas facility," Trump continued.
"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 - In which instance the United States of America, with or without the help or consent of Israel, will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before," he continued.
"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.
