Former President Trump stated that Israel launched an attack on Iran's South Pars gas field without the knowledge of the United States or Qatar. The attack targeted a small section of the gas field, and Trump emphasized that Qatar was not involved or aware of the incident. In response, Iran allegedly attacked a part of Qatar's liquefied natural gas facility, which Trump described as provocative and unjust. Trump warned that if Iran continues to target Qatar, the United States might retaliate with significant force against the South Pars gas field, potentially causing long-term damage to Iran. He expressed reluctance to authorize such actions but indicated readiness to act if Qatar's facilities are attacked again.
