The Middle East War is on its 19th day, the next phase could well be its most decisive. With a perceived split in US and Israeli strategy now emerging. If we can believe Donald Trump’s words. He says Israel bomned Iran’s gas field “without his knowledge.Then Trump, perhaps playing catch up, threatens to “blow up” – his phrase – Iran’s South Pars gasfield if Iran strikes Qatar. A move experts say would literally explode the region, sending a backdraft into Qatar. A remark that speaks loudly of a lack of understanding from Trump and his advisors… Iran is striking the Gulf allies of the United States because the US & Israel are bombing Iran… It’s like Catch 22.
