Trump suddenly posted on social media today, stating that he was "completely unaware" of Israel's attack on an Iranian gas field and shifted all the blame onto Israel. Previously, media reports indicated that Israel had coordinated with the United States before attacking the Iranian gas field and received U.S. approval.

Trump wrote: "Israel is angry about developments in the Middle East and has launched a strong attack on a key facility at the South Pars gas field in Iran. The targeted area was only a relatively small part of the whole. The United States was completely unaware of this specific attack, and Qatar did not participate in any form or knew anything about it. Unfortunately, Iran does not understand this, nor does it know anything about the South Pars attack, so it unjustly and unreasonably attacked a part of a liquefied natural gas facility in Qatar.

Israel will no longer launch any attacks on this extremely important and valuable South Pars gas field unless Iran makes an unwise decision to attack a very innocent country — which is Qatar here. If this happens, the United States will completely destroy the entire South Pars gas field with a scale and strength never seen or experienced by Iran, whether or not Israel assists or agrees to it.

I do not wish to approve such a degree of violence and destruction because it would have long-term effects on Iran's future. But if Qatar's liquefied natural gas is attacked again, I will not hesitate to do so."

Comments: Trump suddenly changed his stance, claiming he was completely unaware of Israel's attack on the Iranian gas field and shifting all the blame onto Israel. The core reason is fear of a surge in oil and gas prices, fear of inflation rebounding, and fear of affecting domestic politics. He clearly knew beforehand and tacitly approved, but now he is urgently shifting the blame and cutting ties, even ordering Israel to stop. This shows that he is most worried about the Middle East energy war getting out of control and oil prices surging, which could impact the U.S. economy and public opinion. While he speaks harshly against Iran, his actions are cooling down and avoiding risks. His contradictory statements expose his fear and calculation regarding oil prices.
