If I had to guess, someone is trying to provoke a war between the US and Iran, and it's not Iran. Congress must act. (Yeah, that'll happen)

Armed drones, with the clown prince's logo on them.

Houthi is admitted the attack’s. Is it hard for CNN to mention the attackers name?!!

Seriously cnn!!!! Can’t you say the truth that it’s a terrorist attack by Iranian backed Huthis?!!!

To all ignorants who are saying that it didn't happen, Houthi group in Yemen admitted the attack on the Saudi's oil pipeline .. research before you speak fools

Why are you avoiding to mention the Houthis , they claimed responsible for the terror attack , Still hiding the TRUTH

Under Trump, the American people are paying the highest gas prices & airfare prices realDonaldTrump.

CNN = Cable Nonsense Noise

Climb? Just over 1% and still down from its 2 month high. Please stop the drama.

Houthis, Houthis, Houthis, financed and coordinated by Iran, that’s what your democrats are hiding, and also cnn!

Any F excuse to raise prices!!! They rise ASAP... but them lowering back down...Eternity!

Oh no.. After creating suffering for millions of people in Iraq, Libya and Syria - homeless and now refugees .. Now Iran & Venuzela being targeted ! The curse of Oil !

Maglalakad na lang ang taong bayan.

ANYONE SEEN ANY ACTUAL DAMAGE DONE TO EITHER THE TANKERS OR PUMPING STATIONS? DO YOU THINK THIS IS FAKE OR FABRICATED NEWS

The war preparations continue. I'm sure Iran will be blamed for this somehow. When the US wants a war, they get a war.

The Prince playing around with his toys again. He’ll prob lie about this as well .

These are false flag events created to make it seem justified to raise prices! These clowns aren't fooling anyone,and it could very well backfire.

Don't believe anything coming from Saudi Arabia, they are looking for a pretext to war between U.S. and Iran.

Armed drones? Ok, now we know it wasn’t the Iranians.

Oil tankers, now this and the blame will be directly pointed at Iran and will give the Trumpster a reason to start a new war, deflecting from all his other horse shit.

This 'winning' is kicking my ass.

What?

The USA has the ships in the wrong place. Venezuela has more oil then anyone so that is where the ships should be and to bring back democracy to the people there who are suffering from a dictatorship

Waiting for gas to hit $6 by 2020.

🤔that’s why the White House Reviews Military Plans Against Iran...

. . رد على الإرهاب . . إن العقوق ونكران الجميل لم يكن الجديد في هذا اليوم فمن يصنع المعروف في غير أهله يلقى كما لقي مجير أم عامر وأم عامر الضبع وقد أكلت من أجارها . .

. . . رد على الإرهاب . .

Thankfully the US is now a net exporter of oil - mideast turmoil does not impact our economy as it did in the past

Fake news?

Just an excuse to raise prices.

if anyone believes the Saudis they are part of the problem

Two oil pumping stations for East - West Pipeline have been hit by explosive laden drones.

Saudi oil infrastructure targeted in drone attack.

Saudi Arabia says drones hit oil pipeline ,after reports of tanker attacks.

Bullshit. Coming from the same country who produced 9/11 and many other atrocities. Just another reason to attack Iran, the current boogeyman.

BOMB IRAN!

USA, Israel and Saudi Arabia want war with Iran. Will we the people be able to stop them?

rule 1 or it didn’t happen

Wouldn't it be convenient for the US, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Israel to attack Iran for its oil reserves?

I bet those drones were not operated by any other party...

That's fortuitous. Just like those two oil tankers that were damaged.

so we're just taking the word of a nation who killed and chopped up one of its people and then tried to pretend it never happened?

Great.... almost back to $3.00 a gallon here

My next car is going to be electric.

The Lies that come from that place...
