U.S. Officials Aware of Israeli Plan to Attack Iranian Gas Field
(Wall Street Journal) Summer Said - The U.S. was informed of Israel's plan to strike Iran's South Pars gas field ahead of time and had no issues with it, American and Israeli officials said Wednesday. President Trump approved of the strike, U.S. officials said, to pressure Iran to unblock the Strait of Hormuz. The officials said Trump believed Tehran received the message and wants to refrain from further strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure. On Wednesday night, Trump said on social media, "The United States knew nothing about this particular attack" on South Pars. "No more attacks will be made by Israel." However, if Iran strikes Qatar's gas hub again, the U.S. "will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field."
