'I have just instructed the Secretary of the Treasury to substantially increase sanctions on the country of Iran!,' the US President wrote on Titter.

Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said the hit on the world's biggest crude exporter was a "real test of the global will" to confront subversion of the international order.

France, which is trying to salvage an international nuclear deal with Iran that Washington quit last year, said it wanted to establish the facts before reacting.. Three officials said they involved cruise missiles and drones, indicating a higher degree of complexity and sophistication than initially thought.Credit:The officials did not provide evidence or explain what US intelligence they were using for evaluating the attack, which cut 5 per cent of global production.

Saudi Arabia's finance minister on Wednesday said the attack had no impact on revenues and Aramco was continuing to supply markets without interruption. The assault exposed serious gaps in Saudi air defences despite billions of dollars spent on Western military hardware and repeated attacks on vital assets during its four-and-a-half year foray into the Yemen war.

Despite years of air strikes against them, the Houthi movement boasts drones and missiles able to reach deep into Saudi Arabia, the result of an arms race since the Western-backed coalition intervened in Yemen in March 2015.

“Titter” is a new social media platform designed exclusively for Mr Trump?

Lock Iran out of everything !

IMO completely wrong strategy. US should re-join the Iran nuclear deal framework struck by the UN Security Council.

Well, I guess that's better than his last comment of 'locked and loaded', he must have realised the voters didn't want another bloody war and were not happy.

sand imports from the USA now 200% more expensive

Trump says Iran likely behind Saudi attack but softens tone on military responseOne day after saying the US was locked and loaded to retaliate against those responsible for the weekend's attacks on Saudi Arabian oil plants, US President Donald Trump now says he's in no rush to take action. TRUMP LIES. TRUMP LIES. TRUMP LIES. My money is on gremlins. Bit awkward to go in hard against the hornets, when you're the idiot who kicked their nest in the first place after every adult in the room told you not to.
