Saudi Arabia's foreign minister says Muslim nations must confront recent attacks blamed on Iran with 'all means of force and firmness.'

FILE - In this April 18, 2017 file photo, then Saudi Arabian Finance Minister Ibrahim al-Assaf speaks at the opening of the annual meeting of the Arab financial institutions, in Rabat, Morocco. Saudi Arabia's foreign minister says Muslim nations must confront recent attacks blamed on Iran with "all means of force and firmness.

Al-Assaf said the alleged sabotage of boats off the coast of the United Arab Emirates and a drone attack on a Saudi oil pipeline by Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi rebels requires the region to “make more efforts to counter the terrorist acts of extremist and terrorist groups.”Iran has denied being involved in the attacks, which come amid heightened tensions between Tehran and the U.S.

Bolton described Tehran’s decision to back away from its 2015 atomic deal with world powers as evidence it sought nuclear weapons, even though it came a year after America unilaterally withdrew from the unraveling agreement. Meanwhile Wednesday, acting U.S. Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan said some 900 troops coming to the Mideast over the perceived Iran threat — to reinforce the tens of thousands already in the region — would be deployed in Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Another 600 attached to a Patriot missile battery have had their deployment in the region extended.Bolton’s trip to the UAE comes just days after Trump in Tokyo appeared to welcome negotiations with Iran.

Pay for US military protection we provide them to protect their $$ and his Royal Crown, their oil fields getting blown up by Iran or Iraq is not the Taxpayers Problem! Oil rich middle east countries have literally TRILLONS of $$. We need a 'Oil Rich Middle East US Pay Back Tax!'

America just needs to take over the world. So we can begin the new world order. I shall be it’s leader!!!

Fuck Saudi Arabia

Hell just tell Obama to send them a few more billion

Saudi foreign minister: don’t blame on Iran what you did

How about no? Saudi Arabia already got itself entangled in two wars that it couldn't win, and now it wants to start a third?

Nukes ain't it chief

War is brewing

Ok if you are first guy in line of the attacking arm forces.

I'm getting tired of Saudi Arabia. Why don't they just fight Iran directly already?🤦‍♂️

No wars for Saudi interests!

Everyone wants to 'blame Israel' for the 'let's bomb Iran' movement when, as here, we see AN ADMISSION from the real driving force.

Saudi Arabian dictators are disgusting thus we should invade them instead of Iran 🙏

The 9/11 group is getting the band back together. This should be great. And didn't the putrid president just give the Saudi's nukes? Cool.

How are we getting involved in a factional religious war with one nation whose citizens attacked us in 2001 & another who took hostages? Oh, right- Money. Dump trucks upon dump trucks of money.

See this bastard of the highest order and he call himself a Muslim !!!!!

You have the money, do it yourself!!

Same goes for Saudi Arabia's attacks on Yemen. Which we know is you! KnuckleHead$

With a BigStiffy

Do not forget that Iran is also Muslim country in the region. The oil of Saud has less value rather than Muslim Ummah. Please rethink.

You go first

Iran can get Saudi Arabia in a week

Is this terrorist advocating WAR

LOL honestly fuck Iran but why are we taking anything the Saudis say seriously

the more we send expensive stuff the worse the ground assault will become in the WCS. If they can't keep the threat of air strikes away from the peninsula themselves then we are not going to retaliate. We can help keep them secure but we can't wage war for them

How about settlement of all outstanding feuds. Give peace a chance. No more Muslim blood.

Empty words .. empty threats ..

1th Presentate effidence to be prooven beyound any doubt !!! All party's involved Read this carefully al-hamdulillāh Mash'Allah Hallelujah Namaste Shalom PBUY PBWY Amin Amen

The US can go fight a war on behalf of KSA and Israel. Just don’t ask the rest of us to follow along blindly like we did in Iraq!!!

That would be a really bad idea.

I'd be looking closely at the 'evidence'. Not exactly a trustworthy bunch.

WHY ARE YOU HELPING A NATION USURPING MIDDLE EAST RESOURCES?

Lol, they won't do anything. They'll keep trying to trick orange dotard into doing it.

whats about yeman there are few thousands of civilians killed by air bomb...

Trump wants war. It's his ace in the hole. Can't unseat a potus at a time of war. Martial law will be next. Wait and see....

Are Saudis manipulating tRump admin to engage in their war or asking trump, jared & ivanka for payback? Blurry lines these days with such grifters abusing power NoMoreWars Lockthemup

these saudiarabia scumbags Mass Murders world wide war criminals

attacks carried out by saudiArabia made to believe it was iran the saudis Murdered and cut his body apart while the blood was still 98.6 degrees f. and dumped into dispoal Units in turkey Khashoggi and he wasnt even a politician you cant trust

Fuck the Saudis. They were complicit in 9/11, and they killed Jamal Khashoggi, an American resident.

Hey Trumpy, remember all those weapons you sold to SA? I think they’re about to be used against Israel and the US. To think you could have had Yemen on your side ... realDonaldTrump's cavalier threats are about to be called up. I’m sure he’ll find someone like Bolton to blame.

saudis are a disgrace for muslim world

By Muslims he means sunni not Shia. How fast we forget dismembered Khashoggi.

вот и черти поползли сами по себе

No surprises; talk of a barbarian. SaudiBarbaria CrookedSaudiRoyals

How do we know it was Iran? At the minimum, we need a Saudi passport to survive the blast before we can draw a conclusion that it was Iran! /s

Conveniently now they have the arms to do that.

Iran are the real Muslim, Saudis are the apostate

Servant of USA!

The key word “blamed” the fact: but not confirmed because it’s a fucking inside job!! By now we would see pictures of the drone and a freaking video of these so called extreme Iranians claiming responsibility. Where’s the video? Where are the pictures? Where is the proof?

There’s that dog whistle..

Naaaaa. We ain’t buying it

Saudi Arabia is much more of a threat to the world than Iran will ever be.

So by “firmness”, do they mean torturing and executing journalists in their embassies? Which reminds me........Remember all the fake outrage by U.S. GOP QPoliticians over Khashoggi’s death?

Non sense he should tell this non sense to his wahabi. When do they share their oil money with Muslim around the world do they say like we will finance all Muslim nation budget. His many Syria and Iraq refugees did Saudi take

Piss off SaudiEmbassyUSA. Inciting war in this holy month oh Ramadan. Shame on you, using Islam for your politics of power. Shame on you! KSA does not speak for all Muslims UnIslamic WhatWouldTheProphetSay

Did you hear the America? Saudi Arabia has given us our marching orders so hop to!

MuellerSpeaks

Hmmm, Iranians are Muslims.

Never saw that coming.

This Jared’s Middle East Peace plan?

Bogus call. Saudi continued to fail big time in confronting Muslim attrocities across globe, you name it in China, Burma , Palestine, Iraq, Yemen, Syria and Pakistan.Never Saudi had intervened.Then why should Muslim nations confront Iran? Just that Saudi is a puppet of Israel

The US stands with Saudi Arabia. Iran has been a terror menace for to long. “Let’s Roll”

'imaginary attacks must be answered with real war, but the murder of a journalist... we have no fucks to give!' Saudi Arabia, 2019

Womp womp

What if Iran is not behind the attacks? Should some diplomats go & discuss the matter to see where this is coming from?

What a joke!! Really... sit down and shut-up Saudi Arabia, your the last one to talk! motherland to terrorists

Hmm so S.A and trumpy want to attack Iran. Hmmm suspicious much corruption

What about Jamal Khashoggi?

Yes they should. Iran has been fooling the world for years now and getting away with countless of crimes thanks to the media that is reluctant to report it.

Just pay isis

Murdering despots ask the world to help them.

Oh boy. Here we go. Your buddy Trump hears you loud and clear.

News, he has already sold this country to Russia and the congress with Mitc think it's ok.(A bunch of spine less people(Quislings)

Trump administration may use Iran threat to sell bombs to Saudis without Congress' approval: senator'I am hearing that Trump may use an obscure loophole in the Arms Control Act and notice a major new sale of bombs to Saudi Arabia (the ones they drop in Yemen) in a way that would prevent Congress from objecting. In this case, they said the Republican president would cite rising tensions with Iran There is no reason to cooperate with Congress if all Congress does is insult him with the hoax over and over these are attacks coming from the left and they are anti-American Our stupid country has thousands of loopholes. the situation in Yemen is alarming

Trump to sidestep Congress to clear arms deals benefiting Saudi Arabia, UAEThe president is invoking seldom-used emergency authority to circumvent congressional roadblocks to 22 arms deals. How does he get away with this crap? Where are the checks and balances? Isn’t this official terrorist sponsorship when a bipartisan congress says no?! Great. This way they can use these weapons against us when the next administration tries to get everything back under control. I don't know when enough is going to be enough.
