Donald Trump denies US role in Israeli South Pars strike

Iranian media reported that phases 3, 4, 5, and 6 of the South Pars Gas Field were hit. This is one of the world’s largest natural gas fields.

Israeli officials confirmed the attack. They said the target was a major gas processing facility in Bushehr Province.

Iran also reported strikes in Asaluyeh, forcing several gas production units offline. This has raised serious concerns about energy supply.

Gas Prices Jump After Attack

The strike quickly affected global markets. European gas prices jumped by 6%, crossing $650 per 1,000 cubic meters for the first time since March 9.

The attack has added pressure to an already unstable energy market. Experts fear further disruptions if tensions continue.

Trump Speaks Out on Truth Social

Donald Trump shared his reaction on his Truth Social platform. He said the US had no role in the strike and was not informed in advance.

He described the attack as limited but warned Iran against targeting energy sites in Qatar. He called Iran’s response “unfair and unjustified.”

Trump also issued a strong warning. He said the US could take severe action if Qatari energy facilities are attacked again.

“I don’t want that level of destruction,” Trump said. “But we will act if needed.”
