Overview
Three Israeli officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the Israeli operation that targeted Iran's South Pars gas field on Wednesday was coordinated with the United States. The officials also said the action is unlikely to be repeated.
U.S. response and presidential remarks
U.S. President Donald Trump publicly stated on social media that Washington "knew nothing about this particular attack." He further said Israel would not continue strikes on the gas field unless Iran again attacked Qatar.
Regional reaction and escalation
The strike on the South Pars gas field prompted an Iranian aerial assault on energy infrastructure in Qatar and at locations across the Middle East. That exchange has been characterized in reports as the largest escalation in a nearly three-week U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.
Official acknowledgement and internal reaction
Israel has not issued a public acknowledgment taking responsibility for the South Pars operation. The three Israeli officials said they were not surprised by President Trump's public statement that Washington knew nothing about the attack.
