President Donald Trump has pointed to Iran as the likely culprit behind the aerial strike that halted Saudi Arabia's vital East-West oil pipeline. Trump reaffirmed his strong alliance with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and stressed the importance of confronting Iran's destabilizing actions in the region.
U.S. President Donald Trump has taken a firm stance, stating that Iran is probably responsible for the aerial attack that disabled Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline, a crucial route for crude exports that bypasses the vulnerable Strait of Hormuz.
"I think they are, probably they are," Trump told reporters in Dublin when asked about Iran's involvement, demonstrating his commitment to holding Tehran accountable for its aggression. He added that he had spoken with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, describing the prince as a "good friend," underscoring the strong partnership between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia in the face of Iranian threats. Trump also revealed that Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis had contacted his administration, signaling their reluctance to see direct U.S. involvement in the conflict—a clear sign that American strength is respected. "They would much prefer not having us involved, and they're letting most ships go through. There's just one country that they're not too happy with, and we'll get that straightened out," he said, making it clear that the U.S. will not tolerate Iranian hostility. The remarks were made during a press briefing in Dublin, with reporting from Dublin and London.
