Trump Warns Iran: US to Destroy Gas Field

0:00It's March 19th, and here's what's happening across the world right now. President Trump confirmed late Wednesday that Israel attacked Iran's SouthPars gasfield, the world's largest natural gas deposit. He may clear the United States and Qatar had no role in it. Trump warned Israel would hold off on further strikes there unless Iran goes after Qatar. If that happens, he said the U.S. would destroy the whole field, with or without Israel's help. They are called Israel's action dangerous and irresponsible, while blasting Iran's response as a violation of international law. Doha expelled two top Iranian diplomats over the fallout. Iran views the strike as a big escalation in the ongoing war, which the U.S. and Israel kicked off on February 28th. That conflict has already killed thousands in Iran, including its supreme leader and security chief. Tehran fired back with missiles at Saudi Arabia, and strikes on Qatar's key energy hub, rattling Gulf allies with U.S. bases.
