Trump Says Iran Likely Responsible for Attack on Vital Saudi Oil Pipeline

  • On Saturday, President Donald Trump said Iran was "probably" behind the drone attack on a critical Saudi Arabia oil pipeline. The 745-mile East-West Pipeline was temporarily closed on Friday following the strike, which caused damage and injuries.
  • Handling up to 5% of the world's oil supply, the 745-mile infrastructure helps avoid logjams in the Hormuz Strait. Saudi Arabia rerouted about 5 million barrels of oil per day following the closure.
  • While drones originated in Iraq, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq denied responsibility for the attack. The Saudi foreign ministry reported the pipeline "was subjected to multiple attacks" on Thursday, resulting in injuries and damage.
  • During a call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed, Trump declined to take military action against the Houthis, despite the Iran-backed group's recent advances. The White House said the US remained focused on protecting core national security interests.
  • Amid the ongoing US-Iran war, Trump touted the United States' naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, noting they take out 25 boats a day. He promised oil prices "would come tumbling down" when the war ends.
