Saudi Arabia seeks action against Iran after oil attack, allies wary

DUBAI/RIYADH - Saudi Arabia will seek to make a case at a global gathering in New York this week for concerted action to punish and deter arch-foe Iran after strikes on Saudi oil plants rattled global markets and exposed the kingdom’s vulnerability to attack.

As it tries to build a coalition, Riyadh is preparing to provide evidence to the U.N. General Assembly which it says will prove Iran was behind the Sept. 14 drone and missile assault which initially drastically affected its oil output, a view shared by Washington. Riyadh says Iranian weapons were launched from the north and that it is working to pinpoint the exact location.

“If Saudi Arabia can prove without reasonable doubt that Iran was behind it, then world powers could exercise their clout — their pressure, their trade tools, pulling Iran back from its brinkmanship policy,” the source said. The Sept. 14 attack “was a big escalation, there is a clear problem. But it is a real dilemma of how to react without escalating further,” said a Western diplomat. “It is not clear yet what the U.S. wants to do.”

Differences have also emerged between allies Riyadh and Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia’s main partner in the military coalition fighting in Yemen, after the UAE reduced its involvement in the war in June and moderated its tone toward Iran.

Screw that, the Saudis probably did it.

What about legal action against them?

Could Saudi’s be running out of oil anyways,

I’m really curious.... Last I heard there were no injuries from the attack. How do you blow up an oil refinery and nobody gets hurt?

The Arab league needs to become a real league and deal with Iran. Turkey seems to have sold their soul to Shiite Satan. No way the USA should do this all for them. A world solution is needed. China... you need to help here. Russia won't they are creating this mess.

Iran Hamas, and ISIS timeclock is running out!!!

Not only allies ... but everyone!

Saudi Arabia has been fighting for domination if the middle east since... before it was Saudi. Make peace. Save lives.
