Trump Says Iran 'Probably' Behind Saudi Pipeline Drone Attack
President Trump told reporters he believes Iran was 'probably' responsible for the drone strike that closed Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline, while separately saying commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz would 'work out just fine.'
Why this matters. A direct US presidential accusation against Iran for an attack on Saudi energy infrastructure raises the odds of a US or Saudi retaliatory response and further complicates any near-term nuclear or ceasefire diplomacy with Tehran.
