Confirmedon an admission by the acting party plus an independent origin: 1 distinct origin, 1 tied to no party.
Israeli forces attacked the South Pars gas field in Iran on the evening of 18 March, Human Rights Watch said; the field is one of Iran's main sources of gas for domestic use, including home heating. Prime Minister Netanyahu later said Israel acted alone in striking the Asaluyeh gas compound and that President Trump asked it to hold off on further attacks. Trump said the US knew nothing about the strike, while The National reported a Pentagon official said it was coordinated with Washington. Brent rose more than 5 percent to $108.60, Al Jazeera reported.
