The U.S. has yet to provide evidence to back up claims it was Iran, not Yemen's Houthi movement that was behind an attack on Saudi Arabia's oil facilities.
Saudi Arabia said it still has not identified the perpetrator of an attack on its oil sites, despite it being claimed by a Yemeni rebel group and blamed on Iran by the United States.
Since then, various outlets have cited unnamed U.S. officials suggesting Iran was behind a combined cruise missile and drone strike on the facilities, though no evidence has been presented beyond satellite imagery of the attack sites. In the latest development, CBS News cited a U.S. official Tuesday pinpointing the supposed exact launch site as being in the south of Iran, despite Tehran's repeated denials.
"Just imagine: The US isn't upset when its allies mercilessly BOMB babies in Yemen for over 4 years—with its arms and its military assistance. But it is terribly upset when the victims react the only way they can—against the aggressor's OIL refineries," he added.
