After the attack on the South Pars Gas Field, one of the largest natural gas reserves in the world located in southern Iran, U.S. President Trump left Israel alone. Trump stated, "Israel has launched a violent attack on a large facility known as the South Pars Gas Field in Iran. The U.S. was not aware of this attack. If Iran does not attack Qatar again, there will be no further attacks on the South Pars Field."
As tensions rise in the Middle East, the attack on the South Pars Gas Field in Iran, one of the largest gas fields in the world, has changed the course of the war.
TARGETED WITH DRONES
It has been reported that some refineries in the South Pars Gas Field, which is said to be targeted by the US and Israel, were hit. The attacks, which were reportedly carried out with unmanned aerial vehicles, targeted the 3rd and 6th phases of the gas field.
Located in the Persian Gulf and shared between Iran and Qatar, the South Pars Gas Field stands out as one of the largest natural gas reserves in the world and plays a critical role in the energy economies of both countries.
TRUMP: THE US WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS ATTACK
After the attack, US President Donald Trump made striking remarks regarding the issue. Trump emphasized that the US was not involved in Israel's attack, stating:
"Israel has launched a violent attack on a large facility known as the South Pars Gas Field in Iran out of anger over what is happening in the Middle East. A relatively small part of the entire field has been hit. The US was not aware of this attack."
"NO OTHER ATTACKS WILL BE CARRIED OUT"
"The state of Qatar has no connection or relation to this incident, nor did it have the slightest information that it would occur. Unfortunately, Iran, without knowing this situation or any of the relevant facts regarding the South Pars attack, has unjustly and unfairly attacked a part of Qatar's LNG gas facility. As long as Iran does not act foolishly to attack the extremely innocent Qatar again, there will be no other attacks on this extremely important and valuable South Pars Field by Israel. In such a case, the United States will blow up the entire South Pars Gas Field with a power and might that Iran has never seen or witnessed before, whether or not with Israel's assistance or approval. I do not want to authorize such a level of violence and destruction due to its long-term effects on Iran's future, but I will not hesitate to do so if Qatar's LNG facilities are attacked again."
ISRAELI JOURNALIST DENIES TRUMP
In response to Trump's statement that "the US was not aware of this attack," Israeli journalist Barak Ravid provided a notable reply.
Ravid, who works as a reporter for Axios and Channel 12 News, shared information contradicting Trump's statements based on high-level sources. Ravid claimed that the US was aware of the attack in advance and approved the process.
Ravid stated the following regarding the issue:
"Contrary to Trump's statements, senior Israeli and US officials said that the US was aware of the Israeli attack in advance and even approved the attack to pressure Iran. After Iran retaliated against Qatar's gas fields, Trump is now changing his course."
