US President Donald Trump said Iran was probably responsible for the drone/attack that damaged Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline, a key crude artery bypassing the Strait of Hormuz, and noted conversations with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and assurances from Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis about US involvement. He tied the incident to broader Middle East tensions, suggesting the conflict could end after the upcoming US elections and reiterating that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons.
