President Trump is issuing a new threat to Iran after it
attacked the world's largest liquefied natural gas complex in Qatar.
The Iranian attack came after yesterday's Israeli strike on the South Pars gas field in Iran.
NPR's Aya Batraoui reports the Iranian attack on the facility in Qatar will have global implications.
Qatar Energy says its Ras LaFan gas-to-liquid facility suffered extensive damage.
Already, Qatar has had to halt all gas production, disrupting global supplies and the production of fertilizer.
Qatar says other gas sites were further struck overnight by Iranian missiles.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps says it also struck a site in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia that U.S.
fighter jets used for fueling.
Qatar expelled Iranian military attachés, and Saudi Arabia's foreign minister convened Arab diplomats
in Riyadh late last night, saying Iran's attacks only deepen its isolation.
President Trump wrote on social media the U.S.
had no knowledge of the Israeli attack on the South Pars gas field,
and said there would be no more Israeli attacks on this valuable site.
He also warned if Iran doesn't stop attacking Qatar, the U.S.
will blow up the entirety of this Iranian gas field. oil prices higher.
