US blames Saudi oil strikes on Iran

"We call on all nations to publicly and unequivocally condemn Iran's attacks," Mr Pompeo added.

Saudi state media reported that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had told President Trump in a telephone conversation that the kingdom was"willing and able to confront and deal with this terrorist aggression". The Khurais oilfield produces about 1% of the world's oil, and Abqaiq is the company's largest facility - with the capacity to process 7% of the global supply. Even a brief or partial disruption could affect the company, and the oil supply, given their size.

The success of the drone strike shows the vulnerability of Aramco's infrastructure, at a time when it is trying to show itself in its best light while gearing up to float on the stock market. The coalition launches air strikes almost every day, while the Houthis often fire missiles into Saudi Arabia.

'A spokesman for the Saudi-led military coalition fighting in Yemen said investigations were still ongoing to determine who had carried them out.' So Saudi Arabia doesn't know who attacked, yet the US does? Laughable. A blatant lie designed to wage war with Iran.

Secretary of State Pompeo tweeted 'There is no evidence the attacks came from Yemen'. It is blindingly obvious from the article that the US presented no evidence for Iran's involvement. Yet the article ignores this!

So many problems with the BBC's reporting these days! Let's start with the basis for the article, revealed in the 'US blames Iran...' headline. The article is simply reporting what a US offical has said, with no attempt to discover any facts. No better than a tabloid.

Couldn't possibly be the country that there at war with

Trump farts, he blames it in Iran.

orchestration of a war to come hope not...

It will be Brexits fault either way.

👀 p.s one should get on the forex markets as the oil price may just spike first thing tomorrow 🤷‍♂️

Now i will have to pay more to heat my home.

As an American this feels like something Donald Trump would do to start a war so people dont talk about impeaching him

Let the Saudi’s sort it they have bought enough hardware.

Impossible.Muslim worlds must unite otherwise exploitation will continue.

You also blame Iraq and Saddam for weapons of mass destruction..✌🏼

i do like the Saudi as dose Charles, Prince of Wales , he is a nice guy as far as Cult go , i guess its just a remider of how far the corruption of 9/11 inquest will go , to seek the actual truth...

Think of the savings in blood and treasure we will reap when the fossil fuel era ends. From never ending oil wars to environmental destruction, OIL is cause of much of the death, misery and destruction on this planet. Let’s end the oil addiction that is taking us to the brink.

If this was a game of chess ....Saudi, the US and UK ....have just been threatened with a strategic check ....not quite a check-mate ..but one little ♟-drone has threatened the empire

Pity it's impossible to trust US claims re: Iran and the Saudis.

. so now saudi is going to either - - raise the price of crude oil, or perhaps attack iran, or perhaps both. 😫😩😩 .

John Bolton is going to be so sad he didn’t get to start the war

binlerce masum insani, çocuklari öldüren bu suudilerin sonu gelir umarim.

how strange john bolton is sacked and the shit its the fan

Of course they do!

Time to reduce our dependence on the black gold. Look at the basket case countries it comes from.

what's it to you pompeo? let saudis deal with their own shite those murderous bastids. the government I mean. I always mean the governments

Houthi rebels: we did this Houthi rebels: this is how we did this Houthi rebels: this is what we did it with Mike Pompeo, yelling directly into his star-spangled boner: IRAAAAAAAAAAAN

The drones came from Yemen?

They've blamed Iran? Gee, that's a surprise. It's not as if they want excuses for war with them.

Trump administration 'to release name of Saudi official accused of helping 9/11 terrorists'Victims' families have conducted a months-long pressure campaign for the release of the name So it shows how morally corrupt the administration is, they knew the names of those who supported the men who killed 1000svof their citizens, and continued to do trade as well as be friends of the regime😡despicable or what JawaherAKH ضحكتيني يا الجوهرة هههههههههههههههههههه So while trying, bizarrely, to tie Iran into 9/11 the US administration knew all along that Saudi Arabia was involved.
