US EditionNetanyahu Says Israel 'Acted Alone' in Attack on Iranian Gas Field
Netanyahu said Israel acted independently in the strike on Iran’s South Pars gas field, escalating conflict and causing energy price surges of over 10%, officials said.
- On Thursday, Netanyahu said Israel 'acted alone' and agreed to Trump's request to pause attacks on Iran's South Pars gas field.
- Differing war aims stem from Netanyahu arguing that strikes aim to weaken Iran's clerical leadership, while the U.S. focuses on degrading missile, nuclear, and naval programs, as he said Thursday.
- After the strikes, QatarEnergy reported about 17% of LNG export capacity was affected at Qatar's Ras Laffan industrial area, while European gas benchmarks surged over 10%, with the UK benchmark peaking near 183p then easing to 154.8p.
- Allied pressure intensified as Gulf allies urged President Donald Trump to rein in Netanyahu after energy prices surged and Trump posted that the U.S. 'knew nothing' about Wednesday's attack.
- Reporting by Reuters and anonymous sources found U.S. officials were aware of the South Pars strike on Thursday despite public disagreements between President Donald Trump and Netanyahu.
