Trump claims he has asked the Prime Minister to stop attacking Iran's energy facilities
Iran - Trump claims he has asked Netanyahu to stop attacking Iran's energy infrastructure. Since Wednesday, Iran's airstrikes have caused severe damage to Qatar's largest natural gas complex and attacked a Saudi Aramco-ExxonMobil refinery in Saudi Arabia, causing a sharp rise in European oil and gas prices.
The UAE has closed some natural gas facilities, and fires also broke out at two Kuwaiti refineries. US President Trump said Israel was "out of its mind" for attacking a major Iranian gas field, but he ruled out the possibility of Israel carrying out similar attacks without retaliation in Tehran.
Iran accused Israel of attacking its energy facilities at the South Pars gas field, which marks the escalation of the conflict that began on February 28 with Israeli and US air strikes.
Teheran retaliated by launching missiles against oil and gas fields in the region, firing at Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
