United States President Donald Trump has threatened Iran ‘with official end’ to a brewing potential war following attacks on Saudi Arabia's oil installations and tankers.

Saudi Arabia responded, saying that it wants to avoid war in the region, however, stands ready following last week’s attacks, and will respond with all force and determination to defend itself and its interests should war break out.

However, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards have dismissed the possibility of war erupting, saying that they did not want conflict and that “no country had the illusion it can confront Iran”.
