Trump: Israel Has Attacked Important Facilities, US Will Respond Strongly If Qatar Energy Projects Are Targeted
Gate News Report: On March 19, US President Trump issued a statement saying that Israel carried out a "violent attack" on an important facility, but the US was not informed in advance of this specific action. Trump simultaneously emphasized that unless Iran launches an attack on Qatar, Israel will not further strike the South Pars gas field, a critical energy facility. Trump stated that he does not wish to authorize larger-scale violence and destruction, but warned that if Qatar's liquefied natural gas project comes under attack, the US will "without hesitation" take action in response.
