American intelligence shows that the attack on a major Saudi oil facility was launched from Iran, three people familiar with the intelligence told NBC News—an assessment that is likely to escalate tensions between Washington, DC and Tehran.
“This attack had a level of sophistication we have not seen before,” the Congressional source said. “You will not see Democrats pushing back on the idea that Iran was behind it.” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted Saturday that Iran “launched” what he called “an unprecedented attack on the world’s energy supply.”
A Saudi military spokesman says initial investigations show Iranian weapons were used in the attack, the AP reported.
What proof ..And what iran drone has the range to do that from iran ? Yeah, the tanks with the holes should have debris as it didnt explode or has large signs of fire ..
Trumps reneging on Nuecler treaty of President Obama and Allies with Iran , then applies economic pressure , forcing action from them , then we end up here ! Exactly who's brainfart was this ? Which of Gop's leadership and or with Netanyahu and KUSHNER'S Saudi's Prince ?
So what? Sounds like a Saudi Arabian problem, let them deal with it, they have a military don’t they? Let them protect THEIR country and bring our soldiers home from the 160 countries they are in to protect OUR CITIZENS and OUR BORDERS!
Fake intelligence
Is that what '3 people familiar with the intelligence' told you? Please.
Still not buying it.
Take out the regime now. Freeing the enslaved Iranian people will be a bonus.
NBCNews American intelligence told us Saddam had WMDs too
NBCNews BS
NBCNews Cheney, Bush and Jared ?
NBCNews can we get some other intelligence please
NBCNews
Same intelligence which find Iraq 's WMD ?
NBCNews “American intelligence”. Famous last words before a multi-trillion dollar war that kills hundreds of thousands of innocent people.
NBCNews
NBCNews Incredible that the alleged “liberal” outlet is being stenographers to the same intelligence agencies who lied us into Iraq and made them look like fools once before.
NBCNews Are those 3 'intelligent' Ted Cruz, MoscowMitch and Kellyanne Conway?
NBCNews
NBCNews So let THEM fight it out. Leave us out of it.
NBCNews 'American Intelligence' The Same 'American Intelligence' That Said Their Was WMD's In Iraq!
NBCNews Well if you say so it must be true....
NBCNews Who are these '3 people familiar with the intelligence'? Why won't they go on the record?
NBCNews Cannot believe and will not believe it. We being here before under GOP leadership (Iraq——-Weapon of Mass Destruction). Also, this administration seem to be working with alternative truth!
NBCNews This just in: the mainstream press are Corporate Fascists who have attempted to unilaterally declare war with Iran because they are Deceptacons who believe oil is thicker than blood
NBCNews
NBCNews Iran is pushing the world to respond to this unprovoked attack upon a Saudi oil facility.
NBCNews There is going to be a big fireworks display over Tehran soon !!
NBCNews Guess Saudi Arabia found another use for the $110B of Arms we Americans sold them.
NBCNews Good job liberal media
NBCNews Sorry. American intelligence lost my trust years ago.
NBCNews And now go a step farther and do the real intel work. Why would they? Why now?
NBCNews Bullshit
NBCNews
NBCNews It has nothing to do with America! Trump Must Stay Away!
We don’t believe it or nothing else our government tells us anymore
AmazingGraceToo BS!! Name the sources because in this administration 'unnamed sources' usually mean Trump or some other toadie.
NBCNews Bangs on the drums of war chanting Capitalism is better than socialism becuase people's lives matter or something.
NBCNews
NBCNews We’ve seen this movie already. STFU.
NBCNews U shud know better than to believe anything from this administration
NBCNews Funny. I have no confidence in an intelligence agency Trump owns. If you can fake a hurricane map to match what Trump claims, what else can you fake to match his claims?
NBCNews Cool I guess we have no choice but to just take your word for it and start another useless never ending war for like the twentieth time in a row
'3 people familiar with the intelligence.' AKA, we make up sources, trust us.. we totally promise Democrats and the media are telling the truth!
Has anyone else gotten to the point that they’re leery to believe anything this “administration” has to say, regarding everything!!!!!
Neoavatara Leftists will believe 1) Blasey Ford on no evidence, 2) that broad down in GA who said her election was stolen with no evidence, 3) Putin stole the election with no evidence.
bull
Duh, so now those dumb so called know it all like benrhodes or ChrisMurphyCT are they going to apologize for their dumb denials! DemocratsAreCorrupt !
US Intelligence? This is Iraq again. Pffft.
They are desperate for any war anywhere. To much of an coincidence. All of it.
Neoavatara Has anyone considered that a hit on US oil supplies would hurt the economy, thus hurt a president who might easily be toppled next year without a good economy? A POTUS who ripped the lucrative Obama/Iran deal out from under them?
I really hope we can hold on WWIII for a bit until the oil is not the thing everyone will fight over. Rare Earth Minerals are the new oil and there is no way the US will pick a fight with the monopoly holder: China.
What does he mean by 'The worlds energy supply'? The US gets 43% of its oil from Canada and only 9% from Saudi Arabia. I doubt that you're actually going to notice the supply drop and only fear is affecting prices.
The world stopped believing America when they lied about the Iraq war. Trump and his intelligence guys will lie to please the Saudis. It's all about the money for Trump not the dead children in Yemen
So let's hope POMPEO can keep HIS BIG NOSE out of it!!! Like someone stated...so one bad country attacks another bad country and we care why? We are not the world's police!!!
Yet no radar or other images of the origin released yet? Huh. I guess they need time to manufacture them.
I dunno. Trump told us not to trust US intelligence... guess we best stay out of it.
Exclusive: Sneak peek of the satellite photo of the Saudi Amarco attack Trump will tweet by the end of the day.
Many of the Saudis provided money for 9/11.
Wag the 🐕
Why can't Saudis defend themselves? Maybe they should change school curriculum to hate Iranians rather than Americans
Would this be 3 people familiar with actual U.S. intelligence? Or Fox and Friends?
Did they attack the United States or Saudi Arabia?
Why am I getting that 'they have weapons of mass destruction' feeling?
Let SA use all that shiny new weaponry trump supposedly sold them to fight their own battles. Or maybe an army with bone saws. But not our problem.
Since when this administration does trust the intelligence community this much? It's smells fishy no matter what angle or perspective
Wish Mad Dog Mattis was still around...
Nope.
There has not been enough time for any such investigation at all. The war mongering rhinos need ousted from all government.
We've already fought too many wars on behalf of the Saudis. If they want war, they can leave us out.
NBCNews “This attack had a level of sophistication we have not seen before,” a congressional source said. US officials said there was extremely compelling evidence showing the origination point of the strikes, and one official with direct knowledge described that evidence as imagery.
