Trump publicly criticizes Israel on Truth Social for attacking Iranian gas field, threatens US escalation

President Trump issued a strongly-worded Truth Social post criticizing Israel for its attack on Iran's South Pars gas field, stating the US 'knew nothing' of the strike. Trump said Israel had 'violently lashed out' at the major facility 'out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East.' He declared that 'NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL' on the field unless Iran attacks Qatar again, while threatening that the US would 'massively blow up' the Iranian facility if such attacks occurred. The public rebuke of a key ally and threat of US military escalation marked a significant moment in Middle East tensions. The incident followed Iranian strikes on Gulf energy sites in Qatar, though the timeline and sequence of escalations remain unclear from available reporting.
