A US official, speaking to AFP on condition of anonymity, said Iran is behind an attack on Saudi oil facilities.

The apparent hardening of the US position came as Iran's supreme leader ruled out negotiations with Washington"at any level." President Trump began that campaign after unilaterally pulling out of a 2015 international deal meant to reward Iran for allowing restrictions on its nuclear industry. He says that Tehran is secretly cheating and trying to build nuclear weapons and must be stopped.Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Washington's real goal was to bring his country to its knees.

Saudi Arabia, which has bought huge quantities of US weaponry, is considered a strategic ally in the region, second to Israel, another bitter foe of Iran.

Pentagon urges restraint as US blames Iran for Saudi strikesUS military officials are also privately urging caution, seeking to defuse tensions they believe could push the United States into a possibly bloody conflict. This is disturbing. If it's confirmed that Iran is behind it, what practical or moral reasoning is there for not responding in a manner that severely deters any future attacks? Should no one ever respond to aggression since it could lead to further conflict? 🙄 I thought Saudi also proved Iran was involved,,

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.

Weapons used in oil field attack 'came from Iran', says Saudi coalitionThe weapons used to strike Saudi oil facilities were Iranian-made, the Riyadh-led coalition said Monday, heightening fears of regional conflict after the US hinted at a military response to the assault. Where were all the weapons made that the Saudis used on Yemen for the last 3 yrs and why is this being ignored by the media? Made out to be a random act when it’s actually part of an ongoing conflict. We could make a fairly substantial list of instances where the U.S (spurred on by Israel) has lied the public into illegal wars. So what makes this any different, considering Iran has been in the cross hairs for decades? Once again MSM complicit. Gulf of Tonkin incident...
