Donald Trump Blames Iran For Saudi Oil Attacks - How Likely Is Military Conflict?

Donald Trump has said Iran appears to be responsible for drone attacks on two oil facilities in Saudi Arabia.

They also covered the one million New York children who have been given permission to skip school to take part in climate change protests, the latest allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, and Sean Spicer's debut on Dancing with the Stars.
