President Trump has vowed to "massively blow up" Iran's South Pars gas field if Tehran continues attacking Qatar's energy infrastructure, marking a dramatic escalation in the three-week-old U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. The threat comes after Israeli strikes on Iran's side of the world's largest natural gas reserve triggered Iranian retaliatory missile attacks on Qatar's Ras Laffan LNG complex — responsible for 20% of global LNG supply — sending oil prices above $116 a barrel and LNG spot prices up nearly 60% since the conflict began.
