LOS ANGELES/JEDDAH (Reuters) - U.S. President
Donald Trump said on Wednesday there were many options short of war with
Iran after U.S. ally
Saudi Arabia displayed remnants of drones and missiles it said were used in a crippling attack on its oil sites that was "unquestionably sponsored" by Tehran.
Trump, who earlier said on
Twitter that he had ordered the U.S. Treasury to "substantially increase
sanctions on the country of Iran!" told reporters the unspecified, punitive economic measures would be unveiled within 48 hours.
Trump's tweet followed repeated U.S. assertions that the Islamic Republic was behind Saturday's attacks and came hours after Saudi Arabia said the strike was a "test of global will".
