What did President Trump say about Iran's responsibility for the attack on Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline?

President Trump said, 'I think they are, probably they are,' when asked if Iran was responsible for the aerial attack on Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline—a vital oil conduit that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz and was shut down by the attack.

What did Trump reveal about communications between the U.S. and the Houthis regarding U.S. involvement in the conflict?

Trump stated that Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis had called his administration and indicated they did not want the United States to become directly involved in the conflict, adding that 'they would much prefer not having us involved' and that 'they're letting most ships go through,' with only one country causing friction—'and we'll get that straightened out.'
