US President Trump said Iran is likely behind a recent attack on a Saudi oil pipeline, adding that Yemen's Houthi rebels had told US officials they do not want to fight and that the real point of friction is with Saudi Arabia. Trump's remarks come amid a broader wave of drone attacks and instability along Gulf shipping and energy infrastructure routes. The comments suggest Washington views Iran as the driving force behind escalating regional attacks on energy infrastructure, even as Trump downplayed Houthi appetite for continued conflict. The claim adds another flashpoint to US-Iran tensions already strained by tanker strikes and nuclear disputes.
