US President Donald Trump warned Iran against further retaliation after it attacked Qatar's Ras Laffan energy complex, causing "extensive damage" but no injuries.

Trump wrote in a Truth Social post that Israel will not attack Iran's South Pars gas field again, "unless Iran unwisely decides to attack" another innocent nation, which in this case was Qatar.

Trump added that if Iran does strike Qatar again, the US "will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before".
