Strike on Iran gasfield exposes US-Israel rift as Trump claims he did not know
AI Summary
An Israeli strike on Iran's South Pars gas field, a reserve shared with Qatar, has exposed a rift between the US and Israel. The attack angered US allies in the Gulf and prompted retaliatory strikes from Iran on energy infrastructure in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Former US President Trump claimed he was unaware of the Israeli attack in advance and instructed Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to refrain from similar actions that could escalate regional conflict. Israeli officials disputed Trump's claim, stating that Washington had been informed beforehand. Trump also threatened a massive US response against the South Pars field if Iran attacks Qatar's energy infrastructure. The US has focused on military targets in Iran, while Israel has targeted civilian infrastructure, leading to ecological concerns and further escalating tensions.
