Moments after reports emerged that Israeli jets had struck Iran’s largest gas production plant on Wednesday, US President Donald Trump posted a combative message on Truth Social.
“We are putting them out of business,” he said, following the attack on Iran’s part of the world’s biggest natural gas reserves. Israeli officials were simultaneously briefing reporters that the attack had been conducted with US coordination and consent.
But hours later, after Iran retaliated with strikes on Qatar, Trump changed his tune. This time he stated unequivocally that the United States “knew nothing about this particular attack,” declaring that “NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL” on the South Pars gas field, unless Iran attacked Qatar. Same president, same day, same strike — two contradictory postures.
