Israel and Iran attack gas facilities, in a major escalation that rattles markets

US President Donald Trump walks to the Oval Office at the White House in Washington, DC, as he returns from Dover Air Force Base in Delaware after attending a dignified transfer solemn event on March 18, 2026.

President Trump said that Israel acted alone when it struck the South Pars gas field in Iran. Trump threatened Iran to halt its attacks on Qatar's facilities, or face a "blow up" of their South Pars field.
