President Donald Trump says Iran is likely to blame, fanning new fears of conflict in the Gulf region. FMTNews

Russia and China call for restraint after Trump’s statement that the US was “locked and loaded” to respond.

“I’m not looking to get into new conflict, but sometimes you have to,” he said. “That was a very large attack, and it could be met by an attack many, many times larger.”After meeting with Trump, US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper also singled out Iran as a regional destabilizing force, while stopping short of directly accusing Tehran over the strike.

In Riyadh, officials said the attack involved “Iranian weapons,” but likewise fell short of directly accusing their regional arch-rival. “We oppose all actions that enlarge or intensify conflict,” China’s foreign ministry said, while the Kremlin urged “all countries to avoid hasty steps or conclusions that could exacerbate the situation.”
