Iran on Wednesday attacked Qatar’s Ras Laffan industrial city, one of the world’s largest gas export hubs, causing massive damage to the key facility.QatarEnergy said in a statement on Thursday morning that “several of its liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities were the subject of missile attacks, causing large fires and widespread damage” after the first attack.
After the attack, Donald Trump warned that if Iran targeted Qatar again, the United States would retaliate and bomb the entire region on a massive scale.“I do not want to approve this level of violence and destruction because it will have long-term consequences for the future of Iran,” Trump said, adding that he would “not hesitate to do so.”The attack came after Israel attacked Iran’s key South Pars gas field. Trump also said that he had no prior knowledge of the Israeli operation and said that Israel had committed not to launch further attacks on the site.Following the attack on South Pars, Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian condemned the attack and warned of “uncontrollable consequences” that “could engulf the entire world.”
