This Saturday, Sept. 14, 2019, satellite image from Planet Labs Inc. shows thick black smoke rising from Saudi Aramco's Abqaiq oil processing facility in Buqyaq, Saudi Arabia. Yemen's Houthi rebels 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.
That led to the interruption of an estimated 5.7 million barrels in crude supplies, authorities said while pledging the kingdom’s stockpiles would make up the difference. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi dismissed Pompeo’s remarks as “blind and futile comments.” Machine-gun fire could be heard in several clips alongside the day’s first Muslim call to prayers, suggesting security forces tried to bring down the drones just before dawn. In daylight, Saudi state television aired a segment with its local correspondent near a police checkpoint, a thick plume of smoke visible behind him.

HarryTrevor8888 'US policy of 'maximum lies...' Understatement of the yuga. YankeeShutUp
MatGrano You don’t think this administration would lie do you? No.
cryborg They’re probably right, considering tRump and Pompeo’s track record on that score.I don’t believe the trolls sowing the flood of hate against Iran. I know they’re not blameless, but WE have been hurt FAR more the last 2.5years by IT,his “cabinet”, his operatives, GOPS,&his Putin.
Having heard a stream of blatant lies from our president, a world once generally more inclined to believe a US Secretary of State over the Iranian Foreign Ministry must now wonder if Iran’s claims aren’t more credible. Under Trump, we’re “winning” like never before.
cryborg Change that to TRUMP policy of ‘maximum lies.’
this is exactly so! Lying is US government policy!
Israel bombed those refineries to start a war between Iran and America. It's clever b/c the Saudis recognize Israels right to exist. strengthening their alliance and to hopefully weaken Iran backed Hezbollah and Houthis. Israel is not America's friend!
Knowing our government it wouldn’t surprise me if they caused explosion and used it as a reason to start shit. They lie all the time.
It’s sad when I believe Iran over Pompeo. But I do.
IRAN & Saudi Arabia should be talking directly without any mediator.
It's sad but true SecPompeo, realDonaldTrump and the GOP LIES so much that you can't trust anything they say
Iran sounds like the Democrat Party passing their Lies on to blame the U.S.
They have a point, the USA is lead by a man who speaks fluent gobbledygook and draws with crayons and sharpies. How can anyone take the US seriously?
This would be so believable in 1997 but it's about to be 2020 and people can research and think for themselves with social media and the internet.
Saudi Arabia probably beat up themselves in the face with United States backing to blame Iran to start a War!
The US made up a lie to justify war on Vietnam. The US made up a lie to justify war on Iraq. Believe Iran, the US is lying—again. NoWarOnIran
Trump is behind this is more accurate but since there is no one to investigate.
I thought with the departure of Bolton the war talk would be toned down. I guess not. Trump thinks he needs a war to win in 2020.
They're behind the supply of drones that's for sure. I get the feeling that the Middle East(mainly because of religions grip) will always be a mess. It doesn't help that America supplies weapons to every corrupt dictatorship they can find either.
FakeNews all around!
If only we could believe our government.
Trumps way to get Americans to suffer by paying higher gas prices thus making them more likely to side with him... (I don’t believe a word this administration says)
America does have a good track record of late, lying to their own and the world. Well done Don Trump
Iran needs an ass whipping.
Wouldn't surprise me if the Saudis bombed their own facilities if only to prop up the price of oil.
Wait, is Iran calling Trump fake news?
Wait til Saudi bombs wreak maximum havoc on your shores!
I believe the Iranians as they have no interest to make things worst for themselves. Trump, Lindsay want to go to war on out of personal interest. Saudi cash flow smells good.Moreover it is not them nor any of their family members on the frontline but poor America soldiers lives.
Unfortunate that IRAN'S statement is more likely to be true than the one from Trump's White House. TrumpIsAnInternationalDisgrace
The US Government should not be trusted, this is a story about how they recently fabricated a story about Maduro and his government's actions in Venezuela...
kriswiltse I will believe whatever Iran says over anything that the current US administration says...
America has lost all credibility. It’s tragic and heartbreaking. We’re just a reality game show now with a conman huckster at the helm.
Actually, if history & secularism are weighted in this issue... Then the odds of this statement that Iran 🇮🇷 is behind it, being accurate, are near 100%. Goes back to the separation of Shiha & Sunni split within Islam. HistoryLearnItOrBecomeIt
They would cook up more lies to invade Iran...
The timing is VERY interesting. China announces to make 400billions usd investment to Iran and to buy oil from Iran. Following this announcement, attack existed!! Big set up to start a war against Iran! Noone can/will believe that Iran did this attack.
Iran once... didn't like it.
Pompeo was straight out with the Iran attack line, saying there was no evidence it was the Houthi's but showed no evidence it was Iran. He's almost as dangerous as Bolton.
Could it be Micronesia?! The problem is that senior Iranian government & military official, and their henchmen in the Middle East, have been threatening to launch such attacks for years...
Lol, I believe Iran
Saudi Arabia is not safe anymore. What would come after this attack must be threaded with care.
The 🇺🇸 has zerocredibility 😎
History would side w/ Iran.
Iran are making America look like amateurs right now.
Right now I agree with them
Time for regime change in Iran
Yep, it’s right when pigs fly.
I mean they’re not wrong lol
Can SecPompeo prove it or you are giving an excuse to another WAR ? Shame on you! Did you contact the POTUS 45 new advisor?
Most probably a lie or even a false flag. Wouldn't be the first time the US try a false flag.
There's one things that abundantly clear: the US can't be trusted re Iran. Never.
