Trump defends Israel’s actions, blames Iran aggression, signals overwhelming response if Gulf energy security threatened again.
US President Donald Trump stated that the United States had no prior knowledge of Israel’s strike on Iran’s South Pars gas field, while reinforcing strong backing for Israel’s broader fight against Iranian aggression. He emphasized that the targeted hit affected only a limited section and clarified that Qatar had no involvement in the incident.
Trump sharply criticized Iran for retaliating by attacking a Qatari liquefied natural gas facility, calling the move unjustified and reckless. He stressed that Tehran acted without understanding the facts, exposing what he described as irresponsible escalation that threatens regional stability and global energy security.
In a strong warning, Trump declared that no further Israeli strikes on the South Pars field would occur unless Iran continues its aggression. However, he made it clear that if Qatar is targeted again, the United States is prepared to unleash overwhelming force, potentially destroying Iran’s critical energy infrastructure with unprecedented power.
While expressing reluctance to escalate the conflict further due to long-term consequences, Trump underscored that protecting allies and ensuring stability remains a top priority. His remarks reflect a calibrated approach—supporting Israel’s decisive actions while maintaining control over broader escalation risks.
The developments highlight the ongoing tension surrounding vital energy routes and infrastructure, reinforcing Israel’s long-standing position that Iran’s aggressive behavior poses a serious threat not only to regional security but also to global economic stability.
