Trump threatens to 'massively blow up' Iran's South Pars gas field if Qatar attacked again

President Trump threatened on Truth Social to 'massively blow up the entirety' of Iran's South Pars natural gas field—the world's largest—if Iran continues attacks on Qatar's energy infrastructure. The threat came after Iranian missiles struck Qatar's Ras Laffan LNG facility in retaliation for Israeli strikes on the South Pars field. Trump claimed the U.S. 'had no idea' about Israel's initial strike and promised Israel would not attack South Pars again, while warning of devastating U.S. retaliation if Iran targets Qatar. The threat represents a major escalation in the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran, with potential catastrophic economic consequences given South Pars' critical role in global energy markets supplying approximately 40% of Iran's gas production and significant portions of global LNG. Global stock markets fell sharply and energy prices soared following the exchanges, with analysts warning of potential supply disruptions affecting Europe and Asia.
