Trump Says Iran Probably Responsible for Attack on Saudi Arabia Pipeline
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump said Iran was "probably" behind the drone attack on Saudi Arabia's critical East-West Pipeline. The 745-mile pipeline was temporarily closed Friday following the strike, which caused injuries and damage.
- The 745-mile infrastructure had been handling up to 5% of the world's oil supply, helping avoid logjams in the Hormuz Strait. Saudi Arabia rerouted about 5 million barrels of oil per day following the closure.
- While drones originated in Iraq, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq denied responsibility for the attack. The Saudi foreign ministry reported the pipeline "was subjected to multiple attacks" on Thursday, resulting in injuries and damage.
- During a call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed, Trump declined to take military action against the Iran-backed Houthis despite their recent advances. A source told CNN the Crown Prince had urged Trump to strike the group.
- Amid the ongoing US-Iran war, Trump touted the United States' naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, noting they take out 25 boats a day. He promised oil prices "would come tumbling down" when the war ends.
