The Foreign Minister's office has told Sky News it is working to verify if the report is true.

Trump ‘has handled Iran badly’ | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian’s Greg Sheridan says US President Donald Trump has “handled Iran pretty badly”. \n\n“The key moment was when he ordered a military strike in retaliation for Iran shooting down an American drone but then aborted the military strike,” Mr Sheridan said.\n\nHis remarks come after two large government-run oil processing facilities in Saudi Arabia were struck by a series of drone strikes on Saturday, causing explosions, huge fires and prompting the nation to cut production. \n\nIranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zar lashed out at US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for suggesting Tehran was responsible for the attack, which compromised global oil supply.\n\nSpeaking to Sky News, the journalist said while Mr Trump’s prudence in the use of force is “admirable”, US adversaries are “working it out”.\n\nHe compared Mr Trump to former President Barack Obama and noted “the threat is there, the follow through is not”. \n\nImage: AP\n realDonaldTrump what would a stooge like sheridan know realDonaldTrump Iran knows trump has no balls.
