Saudi Arabia's crown prince said the kingdom will not hesitate to confront threats to its security and joined the U.S. in accusing its rival Iran of being behind the attacks.
Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said in remarks published Sunday that the kingdom will not hesitate to confront Iranian threats to its security. He joined the U.S. in accusing its bitter rival Iran of being behind the attacks on two oil tankers traveling near the Strait of Hormuz, a vital trade route for Arabian energy exports.
The Japanese tanker's crewmembers appeared to contradict the assertion that mines were used. They described"flying objects" as having targeted the vessel. The prince claimed Iran had planned the attack's timing to undercut the Japanese prime minister's diplomatic efforts, during his visit to Tehran last week, to reduce regional tensions."The problem is in Tehran and not anywhere else," he added."Iran is always the party that's escalating in the region, carrying out terrorist attacks and criminal attacks either directly or through its militias.
He said Trump was following an"economic pressure campaign" against Iran but"we do not want war." He added that the"unambiguous" object of U.S. actions was that Iran would not get nuclear weapons.
