Trump Warns Netanyahu Against Strikes on Iran’s Gas Fields

U.S. President Donald Trump says he directly advised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to attack Iranian gas facilities. He told reporters in the Oval Office, “I did. I told him, don’t do that, and he won’t do that.” Trump stressed that while the U.S. and Israel usually coordinate closely, they sometimes disagree on military actions. He also claimed on social media that he was unaware of Israel’s strike on Iran’s South Pars field, despite U.S. intelligence being informed of the plan. The attack rattled energy markets and prompted Iran to target sites in Qatar. Trump warned that the U.S. could take severe action if Iran persists. He said the goal remains to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons and to weaken its missile and naval capabilities, though he offered few details on a long-term strategy.
