CA Gov. Newsom on Trump revoking state's emissions waiver: 'I don't know what the hell's happened to the Republican Party. By the way, where is the Republican Party?' 'They believe in federalism, they believe in state rights...they're nowhere to be found'
The Saudi government on Wednesday publicly blamed Iran for the attack on its oil facilities over the weekend -- an accusation that will have serious consequences for a region already on edge.
After the large-scale attack against the two oil facilities, Trump tweeted Sunday that the U.S. was"locked and loaded," but waiting for the Saudis to verify Iran's culpability and provide guidance on"under what terms we would proceed!" A team of U.S. military forensics specialists is on the ground helping with that process and other evidence-gathering, Gen. Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Tuesday. The U.S. is compiling"compelling forensic evidence" from the debris of the cruise missiles and drones, a U.S. official told ABC News Tuesday, which will help"provide a compelling case of where they came from.
"I have just instructed the Secretary of the Treasury to substantially increase Sanctions on the country of Iran!" he tweeted while traveling in California. In June, Trump announced what he called "hard hitting" sanctions on Iran, including on Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
