"I told him 'don't do that,' and he won't do it. I thought that it would go up more than it did, but we're doing this excursion, and when it's completed, we're going to have a much safer world."
"If Iran does not heed my demand for no further attacks on LNG facilities, I will have US forces join Israel in a strike that would massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars gas field."
President Trump stated he will not deploy ground forces to the Middle East, emphasizing he would not disclose such plans. He aims to manage oil prices without relaxing sanctions on Iranian petroleum. Trump mentioned discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu regarding a potential strike on Iranian gas infrastructure, advising against it. He criticized Israel's recent attacks on Iran's South Pars gas field and denied any US foreknowledge of these actions, despite Israeli officials questioning this denial. Trump threatened a significant US response if Iran continues its attacks on LNG facilities.
