Pompeo: Iran to blame for Houthi attack on Saudi oil facilities
The attack comes after Iran exceeded their enriched uranium stockpile limit in the nuclear deal.

ME: And the Kenyan Pig Obama gave them the truckloads of cash to pay for the attack. Thanks Democrats.

WASHINGTON/DUBAI (Reuters) - The attack on Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities on Saturday that has threatened global oil supplies came from a direction indicating that Iran was behind it, and cruise missiles may have been the weapon of choice, according to a senior U.S. official.

The comments added heft to Washington’s accusation that Iran launched the attacks that knocked out more than 5% of global oil supply, instead of the Yemeni Houthi group that claimed it. Tehran rejected the accusation, but said it was ready for war.

The strike on the heartland of Saudi Arabia’s oil industry, which included damage to the world’s biggest petroleum-processing facility, was expected to send oil prices up $5 to $10 per barrel on Monday and inflame tensions across the Middle East.

The U.S. official, who asked not to be named, said on Sunday there were 19 points of impact in the attack on Saudi facilities and that evidence showed the launch area was west-northwest of the targets - the direction of Iraq and Iran - not south from Yemen.

The official added that Saudi officials indicated they had seen signs that cruise missiles were used in the attack, which is inconsistent with the Iran-aligned Houthi group’s claim that it conducted the attack with 10 drones

Of course. It’s always Iran. LOL.

And US have never been wrong or lied to us before!
 
It's a stupid question, not a trick question. Why would you ask about the last hundred years instead of the last 40 years since the ayatollahs took over? Hadn't you heard about the revolution? Do you think it was just a statist swampist lie? lol Iran is currently involved in wars in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen and intermittently shells the Kurds in Iraq.
LOL. Okay me deluded friend, tell me how many nations Iran has invaded in the last 40 years, versus the USA?

Secondly, the people of Iran overthrew the Shah. Do you know who installed the Shah? A revolution is not invading another nation silly.
Your ignorance, apparently of all things, continues to be impressive. Iran had invaded Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen since the revolution. It also arms and trains various terrorist groups that attack Israel and it shells Iraqi Kurds.

The last Shah was installed during WWII by the allies and with the support of Russia because the Shah's father, who had overthrown the corrupt royal family, because the Shah's father supported the Axis powers and the allies wanted to use Iran to send weapons and supplies from the US to Russia.

The Shah's father had banned all members of the royal family he had overthrown from serving in the government, a constitutional monarchy similar to England. The last Shah enacted reforms that that reversed the ban and Mohammad Mosaddegh became PM and tried to overthrow the Shah and the constitution but with US help and support the Shah retained power.

The Shah was overthrown by the people of Iran, but back then half or more of those who opposed the Shah were communists, socialists or secularists, and now those people are either all dead, in prison or in hiding.

You seem to be arguing that the US is evil and anyone who opposes the US is by definition, a good guy.
You are the one who thinks the US is wonderful and never does wrong, but Iran is evil. The government run media tells you this and you believe.

The 1953 coup by the CIA of a democratically elected leader, is nothing to be proud of. Has Iran done anything similar? The Shah attained power thanks to that coup. No? Yes?

Iran may be supporting armed forces in those nations you mention, but Iranian military forces have not invaded. Compare that to the US invasions of Iraq, Libya, Syria, etc.

Do you see a difference?

How about those million dead Iraqis dumbass W is responsible for? Has Iran caused the deaths of one million people?
First, Mossadegh was democratically elected but when he lost his majority in the parliament, instead of stepping down he invoked old emergency laws and dismissed the parliament and began ruling by decree; that is, he became a tyrant. Although the same constitution that had allowed Mossadegh to become PM made the Shah head of state, Mossadegh demanded the Shah relinquish his constitutional power to him. He began trying to subvert elements of the military to overthrow the Shah and urged mobs to attack the Shah's palace. He was clearly trying to effect a coup, himself.

The streets of Tehran were filled with mobs, some supporting the Shah and some opposing him. Among those who opposed him were the Islamists, not a majority and communists who supported the USSR claim to some provinces of Iran. It was only at this point after gaining assurances from Britain it would provide fairer terms to Iran for its oil, that the US became involved. What you, in your ignorance and bigotry call the CIA coup, amounted only to providing office resources and advice to the Shah's supporters. It was when the military units Mossadegh had tried to subvert rejected him that the nation began to stabilize and the mobs began to thin. If the CIA can be credited with anything, it is with helping to stiffen the resolve of the Shah and his supporters before the military rejected Mossadegh's attempted coup.
Straight out of the CIA misinformation history of the Middle East
Doesn’t matter. It was none of our government’s business to overthrow him.

You are aware that the Shah was ruthless and didn’t have the full support of his people. LOL. You cite these tyrannical actions by Mossadegh, but you must be aware the Shah was far worse.

None of it is our government’s business, unless you think the interests of big oil corporations match the interests of the American people.
Still waiting for someone to point out the Constitution’s specified powers granted to any part of the government to determine the leadership of other countries.

Cool, DC disinformation campaign kicking in. Kind of overdue.
 
Cheers. Let's hope the camel riders keep smashing each other. We don't need to be a part of it.
Of course, if Iran and Saudi Arabia escalate to war, it will affect us. We don't really get to choose whether it does or not.
Explain how that will affect us? Please.
It will first directly affect some of our allies in the region, which will affect us. It will affect one of the most important shipping lanes on the world, will will harm our economy. It will produce millions of refugees, which affects the entire world. As the war drags on and as regional countries are drawn into the conflict, nations will start to take sides and entrench their positions. This will affect our trade and defense agreements around the globe. Bad actors on both sides will underake missions designed to provoke the US and bring us into the fray. As the world begins a bidding war on the now more scarce resources available, other, long standing tensions will flare, causing peripheral issues that were more dormant to reignite and come to the fire, damaging our economy even further.

Want me to go on? This isn't really high level stuff, and you shoud have the brain power to figure some of this out. Come on man, at least be smarter than that moron Rand Paul.

In fact much of what I posted did come from CIA files that the courts forced the CIAA to make public, Operation Ajax. If you were actually interested in the issue instead of just trashing the US, you would know that. You must not be familiar with the Constitution if you don't know it gives the executive branch the power to defend US interests in foreign policy matters.
 
It’s being reported that the drones were launched from the Gulf of Tonkin. :lol:
 
lol What would make you think tha
Well, my cackling friend, it appears that a band of rebels living on a sand hill with virtually no onfrastructure has neither the funding not the technological know how to design, build, and launch a drone that can deliver the ordnance to the saudi airfield.

While we know they have used drones nefore (provided by Iran), in this case, the drone required was much more advanced , and a flight plan originating in Yemen did not make sense.

Officials are commenting on this, and you can read their comments for yourself. You dont need strangers to spoonfeed this to you.

It is highly likely Iran could have provided whatever the Houthis needed, so there is no reason to doubt they are responsible.

Actually, the flight plan of the drone seema to indicate it was launched from iraq, from the reports.
I doubt that. If it came from Iraq, it would have been fired by one of Iran's militias in Iraq and that would have been a clear act of war by Iran. The Iranian leadership is not that stupid. The Houthis claim they did it and Iran clearly could have made it possible, so I see no reason to doubt they did.
