President Donald Trump issued a stark warning on Wednesday after Israel reportedly struck a major Iranian energy site, triggering retaliatory attacks on Qatar’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure. The escalating confrontation has sent global oil prices surging and raised fears of broader instability across the Middle East.
In a statement posted on Truth Social, Trump confirmed that Israel had targeted a “major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran,” a key component of the nation’s energy network. The attack, which Israel carried out independently, reportedly caught both the United States and Qatar by surprise.
Qatari authorities quickly condemned Iran’s retaliatory strike on Ras Laffan Industrial City, home to the world’s largest LNG export complex. Officials described the assault as causing “extensive damage” and labeled it a “dangerous escalation, flagrant violation of state sovereignty, and a direct threat to its national security and regional stability.”
Reports from the New York Times indicate that both Iran and Qatar accuse Israel of initiating the airstrikes on the shared offshore gas field. Market reactions were swift: oil and natural gas prices jumped sharply amid fears of a widening regional conflict targeting energy infrastructure.
