Trump threatens to ‘blow up’ world’s largest gas field as Iran war spirals out of control

With every passing day, the war in Iran is spiraling further out of control. According to Donald Trump, Israel has gone rogue and started attacking key Iranian oil facilities in the South Pars Gas Field. But Trump has now threatened that if Iran retaliates, he will “blow up” the world’s largest gas field.

Trump took to Truth Social to weigh in on the latest escalation — one that could have far-reaching consequences. He claimed that Israel attacked the South Pars Gas Field “out of anger,” and that the US knew nothing about the strike beforehand. Trump also suggested that Iran may not have realized Israel was behind the attack — again, allegedly without US involvement — and instead retaliated against Qatar, a close Trump ally, by targeting its LNG gas facility. Trump then promised that Israel would no longer attack oil fields, but warned that if Iran continues retaliatory operations against Qatar, he will “blow up” their entire South Pars Gas Field.
