Trump warns massive retaliation as tensions rise after Israel\u2019s reported strike on Iran\u2019s key gas field. The warning came as missile exchanges hit Gulf countries and energy markets reacted sharply.<\/p>\n
The situation escalated on Wednesday when Iran\u2019s South Pars gas field was targeted. This is one of the world\u2019s largest natural gas reserves, shared with Qatar. The attack pushed oil prices higher and raised fears of supply disruption.<\/p>\n
According to reports, missiles were fired towards Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Qatar\u2019s Ras Laffan Industrial City, a major gas processing hub, suffered serious damage. Saudi Arabia<\/a> said it intercepted multiple missiles aimed at Riyadh and destroyed a drone targeting a gas facility.<\/p>\n Trump warns massive retaliation if Iran responds further. He said Israel acted independently and claimed the United States had no prior knowledge of the strike. He also stressed that Qatar was not involved in the attack.<\/p>\n Iran, however, warned it could target energy infrastructure across the Gulf. Early Thursday, more strikes were reported near gas facilities in Qatar, causing fires and damage to liquefied natural gas plants.<\/p>\n Trump stated that Israel would not carry out more attacks unless Iran targets Qatar<\/a> again. He added that if Tehran takes such action, the United States could respond strongly, including possible action against the South Pars field.<\/p>\n The conflict has already disrupted global energy markets. South Pars plays a major role in gas supply, and any damage there affects international prices and availability.<\/p>\n
