This Sunday, Sept. 15, 2019 false-color image from the European Commission's Sentinel-2 satellite shows Saudi Aramco's Abqaiq oil processing facility in Buqyaq, Saudi Arabia. Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed to have launched drone attacks on the world's largest oil processing facility in Saudi Arabia and a major oil field Saturday, sparking huge fires and halting about half of the supplies from the world's largest exporter of oil.
Actions on any side could break into the open a twilight war that’s been raging just below the surface of the wider Persian Gulf in recent months. Already, there have been mysterious attacks on oil tankers that America blames on Tehran, at least one suspected Israeli strike on Shiite forces in Iraq, and Iran shooting down a U.S. military surveillance drone.
The state-run oil giant Saudi Aramco, which the kingdom hopes to offer a sliver of in a public stock offering, did not respond to a request for comment. U.S. officials previously alleged at least one recent drone attack on Saudi Arabia came from Iraq, where Iran backs Shiite militias. Those militias in recent weeks have been targeted themselves by mysterious airstrikes, with at least one believed to have been carried out by Israel.
Oil-rich Kuwait also said it would increase security around the country’s “vital sites” over the attacks.
I feel like we’re playing checkers and the rest of the world is playing chess..
Anyone think this is a false flag event? Wondering... Should we expect an 'Iran based' atrocity in November 2020?
Iran’s laughing at all of us.
Did trump tweet SECRET satellite photos again...?
Has Trump released the “real” satellite photos yet?
We don't care about them or their oil. Saudis go home.
Yes drones destroy! Nukes destroy! Is there anything developed by U.S that doesn't destroy? Praise the Lord! Keep on borrowing & keep on funding DOD! One day not in the distant future we will have Armageddon! Battle between good & evil! Who evil, who good?
AP reviewed the sat images. I can only imagine this conversation.
The US just needs to stay out of this. The Saudis have plenty of our weapons and can defend themselves. I will admit it is a shame the Houthi's did not hit MbS palace instead. SA is an oppressive regime with a murderous dictator.
meh..prove that iran had anything to do with it
That poor, innocent oil.
Thank God we have Trump in the White House. If it were any1 else, they would B calling 4 Military Action 2 Save the World. I hope we never get another Moron Texan inside the Wh House again & Start a War w/ an Imaginary Dictator/Enemy.
USCG ComdtUSCG wake up call. Not a matter of if but when will the occur in US and maybe on a waterway. USCG needs to be 1st responder not 2nd string defense.
Naturally when you wage a years long campaign of violence an terror against the people of Yemen.. one or two might fight back.
Hmm 🤔
So was this a Houthi attack or was it Israel that used U.S bases in Iraq to create a false flag attack? We know that Israel have been attacking Shiite militia in Iraq with drones from U.S bases in Iraq.
Now show aerials shots of Yemen. Let’s see what damage the oppressing Saudis have caused
Saudi 9/11?
So SA & US kill over 85,000 children & counting & untold adults & houthis attacks an oil plant & SA & US want war? So they openly admit they are evil, soulless, conscienceless warmongers who care more about $ than ppl. They lead countries? Makes you wonder about the ppl electing.
