Attack on a major Saudi oil facility originated from Iran, U.S. intelligence indicate

[Into the Night]

American intelligence indicates that the attack on a major Saudi oil facility originated from Iran, three people familiar with the intelligence told NBC News — an assessment that is likely to escalate tensions between Washington and Tehran.

A congressional source says Democrats familiar with the details do not dispute that the attack was carried out by Iran — an important signal of bipartisan agreement amid great uncertainty about claims made by the Trump administration.



Three U.S. officials said there was extremely compelling evidence showing the origination point of the strikes, and one official with direct knowledge described that evidence as imagery.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted Saturday that Iran “launched” what he called “an unprecedented attack on the world’s energy supply.”

Iran’s goal “is to cause short sharp spike in the commodity markets so the world will cause the Trump admin to change its policies,” one former senior intelligence official told NBC News.

A Saudi military spokesman says initial investigations show Iranian weapons were used in the attack.

Col. Turki al-Malki also told reporters in Riyadh Monday that the early morning strikes on Saturday were not launched from Yemen, despite claims from the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels who are at war there with Saudi Arabia. Al-Maliki did not elaborate.

ran was the staging ground for the weekend attacks on the massive Saudi Arabia oil field, according to U.S. intelligence that was shared with the kingdom, a report said.

The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed sources, reported that the intelligence report—that was not shared publicly—indicated that Iran raided the massive oil field with at least a dozen missiles and 20 drones.

Unnamed sources means it's making the story up.

Yep. The missles could have come straight out of Tehran and it shouldn't make the slightest difference.

Yes it would. You are just in denial now.

Let the murderous vermin Saudis deal with their own problems on their own.

The Saudis didn't launch the missile, dumbass.

they want to deny the cold hard findings that Russia owned our last election


but want to lie us to war again based on the FBI's reputation

Paranoid conspiracy theory. Be sure to wear your tinfoil hat. The orbital mind control lasers are operating today.

No evidence does not mean it didn't happen.

You just choose to blindly believe Trump in spite of his long record of bald-faced lies.

Even if there was hard, incontrovertible evidence, you and yours would still finagle some bogus reason to claim it was false.

You have zero credibility.

So when are the cops coming to pick you up for shipping nuclear materials to Yemen?
I don't have any evidence, but I know you did it.

BULL-SHIT.

not neceassarily so, and common enough if it's intelligence source

No collusion no obstruction.

Translation: He got away with it and you're fine with that.

ROFL..and there is no evidence of a Flying Spaghetti Monster either

Totally bullshit comparison. There is a strong likelihood of Trump's collusion based on his close ties to Russian banks. The Flying Spaghetti Monster is a fictitious entity that was conjured up by a writer protesting the teaching of creationism in public schools.

Weak crap.

So when are the cops coming to pick you up for shipping nuclear materials to Yemen?
I don't have any evidence, but I know you did it.

Another bullshit conflation that has nothing to do with anything based on the fact that I've never had anything to do with Yemen or the Middle East nor have I ever been known to have ties there.

More weak crap.

Maybe it was the Yemenis. The degenerate Saudis have invaded them and killed hundreds of thousands with American/Izraeli and British munitions.

Maybe it was the Iraqis. They promised retaliation after the Izraelis recently bombed them.

Maybe it was Hezbollah. They promised retaliation after Izrael's recent drone strike on Beirut.

Maybe it was Al Qaeda. They promised retaliation after the recent assassination of bin Laden's son by Americans.

The US/Izrael and the degenerate Saudis are allied . Action against one is action against them all.

Saudi Arabia is now crafting U.S foreign policy.

That's what I call a great ROI

[Althea]

Maybe, it isn’t our fight. I go with that one.

See above. trump isn't allowed to do nothing here.

[Althea]

You didn't believe the US intel community and called them liars when they said what you didn't want to hear.

Now they speak the gospel truth afayc.

LMAO...he's still peddling the 'flash drive' drivel?

Why not? It's all over R.T.

It must be true
