"There is reason to believe that we know the culprit, are locked and loaded depending on verification," Trump said in a post on Twitter. Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for the attack, but the U.S. has pointed the finger at Iran. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused Tehran of launching an "unprecedented attack on the world's energy supply."
Tensions between the U.S. and Iran have escalated significantly since Trump pulled out of an international agreement that aimed to keep Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon. Trump thought the deal wasn't tough enough and has slapped sanctions back on the Islamic Republic.
