Trump says Iran probably responsible for attack on Saudi pipeline
U.S. President Donald Trump suggested on Saturday that Iran was likely behind an attack on Saudi Arabia that halted the country's East-West oil pipeline, a critical route for exporting crude oil. Speaking to reporters in Dublin, Trump stated that he believed Iran to be responsible for the assault on the oil conduit. The president also confirmed a conversation he had with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, whom he referred to as a "good friend."
Trump added that Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi rebels had contacted his administration and expressed their desire for the United States to refrain from directly engaging in the conflict. They preferred to avoid U.S. involvement and were allowing most ships to pass through. Trump concluded by noting that there was only "one country" they were unhappy with, and they intended to rectify that situation.
