Trump said America “knew nothing about this particular attack” on the South Pars Gas Field, even though the US and Israel are meant to be working together in the war.

Iran then launched a retaliatory attack on Qatar as the conflict threatens to spiral out of control.

The president said: “NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South Pars Field unless Iran unwisely decides to attack a very innocent, in this case, Qatar – In which instance the United States of America, with or without the help or consent of Israel, will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before.”

Commenting on X, Morgan said: “Trump is losing control of this war.”

His comment came just days after he told the BBC that he does not think Trump has a “clue” what he is trying to achieve in the war.

Morgan said: “I think he thought he could pull a Venezuela here – decapitate the leadership of Iran and it would all get settled quite quickly.

“I think two weeks in, what is very clear, is this is not going to get settled quickly.”

While the first US and Israel strikes on Iran did kill the country’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei last month, he has been replaced by his son and the Islamic regime is still intact.
