… ‚if Israel righteously attacks your oil fields, take it on the chin. Should you retaliate, we‘ll destroy your oil fields, even though we may not have supported Israel‘s attacks in the first place, or in fact known about them.‘

Sounds like a promising recipe for deescalation.

President Donald Trump tonight threatened to “massively blow up” Iran’s largest gas field, South Pars, if the nation continues attacks on Qatar in retaliation for an Israeli strike on the gas field.

“Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

“The United States knew nothing about this particular attack,” he said, adding that Qatar was similarly unaware. “Unfortunately, Iran did not know this, or any of the pertinent facts pertaining to the South Pars attack, and unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar’s LNG Gas facility.”

Trump said Israel would not attack the gas field again unless Iran strikes an innocent party, “in which instance,” he said, “the United States of America, with or without the help or consent of Israel, will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before.”
