Trump Says Iran Likely Behind Saudi Pipeline Attack

In September 2026, an attack shut down a key oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia. US President Donald Trump told reporters that Iran was probably responsible, and that Iran-backed militias in Iraq were blamed for the strike. Iraq closed three border crossings with Iran after the attack.

Trump also said the Houthis had told the US they do not want to fight and do not want the US involved in Yemen. He said the war with Iran would end "very soon."
