DUBLIN, Sept 12 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that Iran was probably responsible for an aerial attack on Saudi Arabia that shut down its East-West pipeline, one of the kingdom’s main routes for exporting crude while bypassing the Strait of Hormuz.
“I think they are, probably they are,” Trump told reporters in Dublin when asked if Iran was responsible for the attack on the vital oil conduit.
The U.S. president also said that he had spoken with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, whom he described as a “good friend.”
