PARIS - A claim from Yemen’s Houthi rebels they were responsible for the attack on Saudi oil facilities is “not very credible,” France’s foreign minister said on Thursday. “Yemen’s rebels have announced they have triggered this attack. That is not very credible, relatively speaking,” the minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, told C News television.

“There is an international investigation, let’s wait for its results. I don’t have a specific opinion before these results”, he said, adding the investigation into the Saudi oil attacks will be fast. The Trump administration and Saudi Arabia have pointed the finger at Iran for the Sept. 14 raids, which hit the world’s biggest crude oil processing facility and initially knocked out half of Saudi output.Reporting by Sudip Kar-Gupta; Writing by Benoit Van Overstraeten; Editing by Christian Lowe

No shit Sherlock. The Iranian clerics know exactly what they are doing I feel sorry for the Iranian people; it’s not their fault.

Maybe the French think that the Saudis attacked themselves? Maybe it’s the Yellow Vests? Maybe it’s the Red Cross in the Red Sea? Maybe it’s the Corsican Separatists?

I think everyone has moved on tho

The leaders around the world have already realized that Iran is not the criminal in this case. Therefore, they will have strong distrust against the American claim and the Trump administration.

The manufacturing origin of parts is not actually proof of guilt, if it was the USA would have a permanent seat in the dock at the Hague.

yeahhh...ur word also not credible

Strange that there haven't been daily pictures of the fire in the news Maybe it didn't happen at all Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest just so some money could be made Where's the footage not the rhetoric

Surely the Saudi oil plants would have been some of the most highly guarded places on the face of the planet - especially from air attacks. So how were these allowed to happen? Just asking!

Irrelevant what u or yr 'WAR on Muslim Nations' Cabal says. After repeatedly warnings to Saud-Dubai to STOP bombing. Yemen Army claims well deserved success. If Yemen can finally defend itself against 21 century Hitler. Should Yemen annihilate its enemy. Dubai Doha

No one believes this narrative

1.yes iran attacked Sa*di oil plans. 2.Not Your Business , France

maybe the up and coming leading exporter did it.

🧐🥖

Well i only saw pictures and some drone parts does not say anything.
