Saudi Arabia shut down its critical East-West oil pipeline after a drone attack damaged it, with satellite imagery confirming the strike. Riyadh said the attack originated from Iraq and announced it would hold off on retaliating to give the Iraqi government time to identify and address the perpetrators. US President Donald Trump said he believes Iran was likely behind the attack on the Saudi pipeline, adding that Yemen's Houthi rebels had privately told Washington they do not want to fight and have only "one country that they're not too happy with" — an apparent reference to Saudi Arabia — which he said "we'll get straightened out." The comments add a new dimension to the unresolved question of responsibility for the strike amid the broader regional escalation.
