Iran has issued a chilling warning after its South Pars gas field ws blown up – just as Donald Trump made an incredible admission about the major incident in Middle East conflict. A joint spokesman for Iran’s general staff said Israel’s attack were a “grave mistake”.

He said: “The next attacks on your energy infrastructure and that of your allies will not stop until complete destruction”, adding “our response will be much harsher than last night’s attacks,”. This in reference to Iran attacking a key energy facility in neighbouring Qatar on Wednesday. Officials in Qatar confrimed on Thursday that Iranian missiles had struck Ras Laffan, the country’s principal gas hub, causing what officials described as “significant damage”. Iran also trageted Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in retaliation for Israel‘s attack on its gas fields. President Donald Trump says the US “knew nothing about this particular attack” and says the country was not involved.

Speaking on his platform, Trump said: “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. A relatively small section of the whole has been hit.”

“The United States knew nothing about this particular attack, and the country of Qatar was in no way, shape, or form, involved with it, nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen.”

Trump then went on to add that Iran did not know the USA wasn’t involved and “unjustifiably and unfairly” attacked a portion of Qatar’s LNG Gas facility.

He went on to make a strong statement that Israel would not launch further strikes on the vital gas facility unless Iran escalates the conflict.

“No more attscks will be made by Israel,” he wrote in capslock, before going on to emphasise extremely importance and value of South Pars Field – the world’s largest gas field.

“Unless Iran unwisely decides to attack a very innocent, in this case, Qatar,” he added. “In which instance 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.”

Trump insisted he did not want to approve this “level of violence destruction” due to its lasting impact on Iran, but issued a stark warning that he would move decisively if further attacks on Qatar’s Liquefied Natural Gas.

Gas prices surged after the strike on Qatar’s Ras Laffan complex. In early trading, wholesale prices in the UK and Europe jumped by more than 25% before later falling back slightly.

European gas prices are now more than twice as high as they were before the conflict began.

The strike was widely viewed as a significant escalation in the conflict.

While Israel had previously targeted several Iranian fuel depots, it had, until Wednesday, stopped short of hitting oil and natural gas production sites.
