Asked in Dublin whether Iran was responsible for the drone attack that shut Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline, Trump said 'probably, they are,' and said the Houthis had 'called us' asking the US not to get involved in Yemen. Asked about moving shipping through Hormuz, he said everything would 'work out just fine.'

Why it matters

It is the first US presidential attribution of the Iraq-launched strike to Tehran, though Riyadh itself has only said the drones came from Iraq.
