Trump threatens to destroy major Iranian gas field

Donald Trump has threatened to destroy Iran's South Pars gas field, which is the world's largest and is shared with Qatar. The threats were made in response to potential Iranian actions, including attacks on Qatar or closing the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping lane for oil.

Trump also threatened Iranian power plants. The threats come as global energy prices are rising and despite reports that Iranian oil exports are continuing to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
