As Iran-backed Yemeni rebels claimed responsibility for an attack on one of the world's largest oil processing facilities in Saudi Arabia, Sec. Pompeo blamed Tehran directly.
US & its clients are stuck in Yemen because of illusion that weapon superiority will lead to military victory.— Javad Zarif Drones claimed by Yemen's Houthi rebels struck the oil processing facility in Saudi Arabia and a major oilfield operated by Saudi Aramco early Saturday, sparking a huge fire at a processor crucial to global energy supplies.
Saturday."The United States will work with our partners and allies to ensure that energy markets remain well supplied and Iran is held accountable for its aggression." The office of the U.N. Special Envoy for Yemen said in a statement that it was"extremely concerned" about the attacks. The fires began after the sites were"targeted by drones," the Interior Ministry said in a statement carried by the state-run Saudi Press Agency. It did not directly blame anyone for the attack and said an investigation was underway.
