in Saudia Arabia that struck the heart of its oil production, pointing to prior controversies that he said cast doubt on Iran's denials.
Trump reacted to the attack with furor over the weekend, tweeting Sunday that the U.S. was “locked and loaded” but would wait to discuss a response with the Saudis once they had a better idea of who was behind the attacks. "Tehran is behind nearly 100 attacks on Saudi Arabia while Rouhani and Zarif pretend to engage in diplomacy. Amid all the calls for de-escalation, Iran has now launched an unprecedented attack on the world’s energy supply. There is no evidence the attacks came from Yemen," Pompeo wrote on Twitter on Saturday, referring to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
Officials in Washington and Tehran have frequently offered conflicting accounts of a number of clashes in the Persian Gulf, including over Iran's downing of a U.S. drone and of a series of explosions on foreign tankers earlier in the summer that the U.S. similarly pointed the finger at Iran for. White House officials continued to exude an air of confidence that the U.S. oil boom would provide insulation from any shocks to the market stemming from the strikes. Marc Short, the vice president’s chief of staff, told reporters Monday that that was what Trump meant in his “locked and loaded” tweet.
This guy actually believes if he goes to war with Iran, he will be elected Coz Bush was?
Don't believe him! Just don't believe him!
He hints at stuff that doesn’t exist all the time. His hinting is worthless. Every word that comes out of his mouth is a lie. Why do you bother covering this guy?
And no matter how much he finds, he needs to go before congress before lifting a finger to attack Iran.
Liar
No one, including our allies, will believe a word that comes from the Trump Administration and rightfully so
Who believes a compulsive liar? Who the hell knows what's going on?
Oh the stuff he and Pompeo drew up with the sharpies in the backroom?
Prove it, or shush!
TrueFactsStated It's a picture of the oil fields (taken by a super secret American satellite) with a bomb drawn on it in sharpie.
TrumpWarmonger
Wonder what Trump and Pompeo coomednup now
No doubt he drew some arrows on a map with his Sharpie.
Of course he did. Would expect anything lower than this guy’s talk.
It’s always potential then nothing happens !
Make sure Hollywood is involved this time we need authentic proof.
Did he check with Putin?
Need more than hints to justify conflict for another country that plays all sides and murders dissenters
FAKE evidence....drawn up with a sharpie
This routine gets old like his taxes never getting released
I am reminded of the Little Boy who Cried Wolf. I’m also reminded of Powell before the U.N, and people held him in much higher regard than anyone in this administration. Moral of the story: don’t lie, because someday you may need people to believe you.
Was there a sharpie, involved with the new evidence 🤷🏻♀️
Call me when the Coast Guard goes on alert. StandDownSpurBoy
This is not true people
First tRump and his henchmen have to create the “ evidence” and the story behind it.
TRump 'hints' at things all the time. It's how he keeps peoples attention. I wish he would 'hint' something useful like he's going to resign.
Sure I really believe anything he says.
Trump LLC films to provide the 'evidence'.
vivartist14
Anything is possible but I doubt Trump has any evidence.
Why would any media outlet print a story about Trump hinted at anything. He never tells the truth so is a hint more reliable?
I'm surprised he isn't waiting for Fox News to tell him what to do. Maybe he really is pissed at them
The news says there may be a 25 cent raise in price.. The Lunatic in the White House going to release all the fuel Reserves gear for emergency who in the hell thinks 25-cent is an emergency?🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴
No one has done more to disrupt the global economy than realDonaldTrump AmbJohnBolton SecPompeo via Sanctions or EconomicWarfare against HassanRouhani Iran NicolasMaduro Venezuela BrunoRguezP Cuba JZarif danielorteg Nicaragua Mr. RickPerryDaily makes wild claims
This is more vomit coming out of this lunatic's vomit hole🤮 5% of the world's oil production and the price already going up it will take months for that shortage to get to the pump..except for profit wants of Corporations.
Please show us the sharpie annotated evidence,DementiaDonald
He has no credibility.
Unfortunately his incessant lying leads us all to believe the opposite of anything he says is the truth.
How come Trump and Pompeo neither one who ever went to war are so quick to push this on the American people. And for every ones info Pompeo Served in the military but never went to war not the gulf war or any other war.
He also denied he said he would meet with Iran with no preconditions. Which was naturally proven to be a lie by a dozen video clips.
Put up or sit the hell down
This is like watching The Apprentice.
Who gave realDonaldTrump another sharpie?
It will take evidence. Nobody in their right mind--including this patriotic American--will take the word of Trump or Saudi Arabia.
how can we believe anything he says?
Still not our problem. I do not care if Saudis don't have enough money left to build a aTrump tower.
Liar.
Trump needs to stop tweeting foreign policy
Got to get the war machines business going once again.
And?
Les rabys saoudiens ont va chercher une solution ensemble mais pour moment s’il vous plaît 🙏 ne dit rien aux iraniens ok 👍
And we are supposed to believe this true, why?
No one believes anything you say. Habitual liers have 0 credability
But he’s not going to share. Doesn’t want Iran to know that he knows !
And What did he do for the Saudi who dismembered a US citizen
Sure. 'Evidence,' just like the evidence that Dorian was going to hit Alabama.
Whoever did it. Great shot!
trump is a LIAR so even if he shows this so called evidence DOUBT IT he is most likely LYING
New ' SHARPIE EVIDENCE ' very credible.
Doctored evidence of course. FAKE NEWS coming via Donnie.
Vraiment si ces iran 🇮🇷 qui commis ce t’attaque vraiment ils n’ont pas fais de bon travail ces vraiment terrible mais de tout le fassions on va chercher une solution ensemble pour le réparer sa conserve tout le monde 🌎 entier
This is another lie from trump
Seems it is a Saudi problem not ours.
I highly doubt this was actually done by the Iranian government, it would be complete suicide to attack thr Saudis. Everyone knows America will come and kick your ass if you mess around with oil. It's about the only thing that motivates us into war.
I know Iran is not our friend. But, neither is Saudi Arabia. And Trump is a pathological liar. So, now what?
This is the same guy who said that his investigators in Hawaii were turning up all kinds of evidence that Obama was born in Kenya.
The USA doing the bidding of Saudi Arabia and Israel. More American money and lives on bullshit intelligence.
Iran needs to be brought under control, the World can no longer look away? The time has come to use the power of America and close down these despots? We know they are responsible and the response must be quick, calculated and powerful? realDonaldTrump NO MORE MR NICE GUY?
He always 'hints' at evidence. He never produces any, except what he makes up.
And why is this the business of the United States?
