U.S. President Donald Trump was asked about the attack on the East-West oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia, in which Iraqi militias were blamed as part of the escalating fighting between Riyadh and the Houthis, and claimed that "Iran is most likely responsible for it." He ruled out the possibility that the U.S. would intervene in the fighting against the rebels, and claimed: "The Houthis called us, they don't want to fight us. Most of the ships are passing through (Bab al-Mandab). They have a problem with one country and we'll solve it." Trump answered reporters' questions in Dublin, alongside Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin.
