Qatar has rejected Iranian claims that its strikes in the Gulf were only targeting US interests, with Prime Minister Shiekh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani saying "the clear proof of this is the attack that took place yesterday that targeted a natural gas facility in the State of Qatar."
Qatar's comments come after US President Donald Trump has threatened to destroy Iran's natural gas facilities if it strikes Qatar again, following an attack on the Ras Laffan gas plant on Wednesday.
Trump said on his Truth Social site that the US would "not hesitate" to "massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field" if Qatar were struck again.
Iran claimed its attack was retaliation for Israel's own strike against an Iranian natural gas processing facility for the South Pars field on Wednesday, the first attack on Iran's gas industry in the 19-day war.
Trump added that the US was unaware of and not involved in the strike, though US and Israeli officials told Axios this was inaccurate.
The US president said that Israel would not conduct strikes on gas facilities again.
The widening war, which has increasingly seen energy facilities targeted, has resulted in increased hydrocarbon prices, with Brent Crude rising to $114, and European gas jumping 35 percent.
