U.S. President Donald Trump:

"Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran. A relatively small section of the whole has been hit. The United States knew nothing about this particular attack, and the country of Qatar was in no way, shape, or form, involved with it, nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen. Unfortunately, Iran did not know this, or any of the pertinent facts pertaining to the South Pars attack, and unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar’s LNG Gas facility. NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South Pars Field unless Iran unwisely decides to attack a very innocent, in this case, Qatar - In which instance the United States of America, with or without the help or consent of Israel, will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before. I do not want to authorize this level of violence and destruction because of the long term implications that it will have on the future of Iran, but if Qatar’s LNG is again attacked, I will not hesitate to do so."

Qatar spokesperson: “Israel's targeting of facilities linked to Iran's South Pars gas field, which represents an extension of Qatar's North Field, is a dangerous and irresponsible step amid the current military escalation in the region. Targeting energy infrastructure constitutes a threat to global energy security, to the peoples of the region, and to its environment.”

South Pars sits at the center of Iran’s energy system, producing roughly 75% of the country’s natural gas, which in turn fuels about 80% of its electricity grid. That makes it a true backbone asset, where a single field effectively powers the majority of the country’s homes, industry, and infrastructure.

This concentration also creates a major vulnerability. Any disruption to South Pars quickly cascades across the system, cutting gas supply, straining power generation, and triggering blackouts and economic pressure. In practical terms, damage to South Pars is not localized. It is a direct hit to Iran’s national energy stability.
