After attack on Saudi pipeline, Trump says Houthis don’t want the U.S. involved — ‘everything’s going to work out fine and dandy’

Iraq blamed the recent attacks on a key Saudi oil pipeline on drones launched from its territory, pledging to investigate further. The United States, under President Donald Trump, appeared to point the finger at Iran for the attack, which halted the pipeline. Iraq responded by closing two major border crossings with Iran, halting all passenger and commercial traffic.

Iran's state-run media reported on the closures. Trump expressed confidence that the situation would resolve well, stating that Iran did not want to engage with the United States and was allowing most ships to pass. He also mentioned having discussions with the Houthis, Iran-backed rebels in Yemen, who have seized a key island and captured a Red Sea port.

The recent meeting between Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian and the UAE's President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, during the BRICS summit in New Delhi, signaled efforts to maintain diplomatic engagement despite regional tensions.
