Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih said attacks on the pipeline (file picture, top right) from the oil-rich Eastern Province to the Red Sea took place early this morning and called it 'an act of terrorism' that targeted global oil supplies. Iran-backed Houthi rebels, who are battling a Saudi-led military coalition in Yemen, had earlier claimed to have targeted several vital Saudi targets with drones. It was not immediately clear if they were also claiming responsibility for sabotaging four ships off the UAE coast on Sunday. The development threatens to further escalate tensions in the region after the Pentagon claimed Tehran had used explosives to blow holes in the commercial ships. Asked about the ship damage, President Trump warned that Tehran would 'suffer greatly' if it enraged Washington, predicting a 'bad problem for Iran if something happens'. President Hassan Rouhani (inset, bottom) responded to those claims by warning Iran is 'too great to be intimidated by anyone'. Left: The damaged hull of the Andrea Victory.
