Trump Blames Iran for Attack on Vital Saudi Oil Pipeline

US President Donald Trump said Iran is 'probably' responsible for an attack on Saudi Arabia's vital East-West Pipeline, which was shut down as a precautionary measure after being hit by several drones. The pipeline, which carries oil from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea, has become crucial for Saudi Arabia since the US-Iran conflict began.

The attack occurred on Thursday and resulted in injuries and some damage. Iraq's government condemned the attack and said it would investigate those responsible.

Trump made his comments during a visit to Ireland on Saturday, where he also spoke with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who had urged him to strike against the Iran-backed Houthi group in Yemen.
