Trump emphasized that all options, including diplomatic solutions and military action, are on the table.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo reiterated the administration’s stance that Iran is responsible for the attacks on the tankers.

Pompeo stressed the need for a strong response to ensure that Iran does not continue such actions unchecked.
