Trump rages against Israel’s Netanyahu for striking Iran’s oil fields sending gas prices skyrocketing: ‘I told him don’t do that’

President Donald Trump said Thursday that he spoke to the Israeli Prime Minister and told him to stop attacking Iran’s oil fields, which has caused fuel prices to soar.

In the Oval Office, Trump was asked if he spoke to Bibi after the President was dispatched A long-winded Truth Social post on Wednesday night We condemn the dramatic escalation in the Iran war.

Israel’s attack set South Pars on fire, and Iran retaliated against the Gulf countries, including the LNG facility in Qatar.

Yes, I did. “I did,” Trump said, confirming his meeting with Netanyahu. “I told them, ‘don’t do that.’ And he won’t do that.”

“We haven’t argued, we argue; we are independent, we get along very well, we act in a coordinated way, but occasionally he will do something and if I don’t like it, so we don’t do that anymore,” the president added.

The Iran war has left Americans struggling at the pump, with gasoline prices rising to $3.90 per gallon nationally from $2.90 per gallon before the strikes began on February 28.

In his Truth Social post, Trump said the US ‘knows nothing’ about Israeli plans to strike South Pars, but threatened to ‘massively blow up’ the entire oil field if Iran retaliates again.

“I do not want to allow this level of violence and destruction because of the long-term consequences it will have on Iran’s future, but I will not hesitate to do so if Qatar’s LNG is attacked again,” Trump warned.

Allies in the Middle East and Europe were outraged by Israel’s move, with French President Emmanuel Macron describing the move as ‘reckless’.

The leaders of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Japan and Canada also accused Iran on Thursday of attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

‘We express our readiness to contribute to the necessary efforts to ensure safe passage through the Bosphorus. “We welcome the commitment of nations planning preparedness,” the joint statement said.

Trump was angered by NATO, which also includes Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Canada, for not immediately offering to help protect commercial ships from Iranian attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, a key global shipping lane.

Thursday’s Oval Office meeting took place with his political ally, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. Takaichi told the President that despite the current Iran conflict, which Trump has signed up to, he believes only he can “bring about peace around the world.”

During the call, Trump praised Japan’s apparent willingness to help patrol the Strait of Hormuz.

‘We have tremendous support and relationship with Japan on all matters, and based on the statements that were given to us yesterday, the day before yesterday, regarding Japan, I believe they have really stepped into that level.’

“Unlike NATO,” the president added.

He also complained about NATO: ‘They don’t want to help us defend the Strait and they’re the ones who need it.

‘But now they behave much better because they see my attitude,’ he continued. ‘But I think it’s too late now.’

Trump’s decision to strike Iran on February 28 stunned some world leaders because allies were not informed of these plans in advance.

In the Oval Office, a Japanese reporter asked the President why he was keeping allies like Japan in the dark.

To this, Trump gave a shocking response.

“You don’t want to give too many signals… we wanted a surprise,” Trump responded in the Oval Office.

‘Who knows the surprise better than Japan?’ he said. ‘Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor!’

The Japanese attack on Americans at a naval base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941, brought the United States into World War II.
