Trump Implicates Iran in Saudi Pipeline Attack
US President Donald Trump has implicated Iran in the recent attack on Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline, stating that he 'probably' thinks they were behind it. The pipeline was temporarily closed due to drones launched from Iraq, according to Saudi authorities.
The attack originated from Iraqi territory, confirmed by the office of Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi, who also announced the dismissal of the commander in charge of the southern province of Maysan.
Regional officials have told The Associated Press that the Houthis and Iraqi militias recently coordinated attacks on Saudi oil facilities. Trump's administration has 'had discussions' with the Iran-backed Houthis, but he declined to provide further information on the nature or timing of these conversations.
