[quote:Anonymous coward 77995088:MV80MTQxNDYxXzc1MjMyNTk1XzQ4MjZERkFD] [quote:Anonymous Coward 74557152:MV80MTQxNDYxXzc1MjI0MTI3XzVBREVCOUZC] It was obviously an attack by the Houthi rebels, whose country of Yemen has been barbarically attacked by the Saudis for nearly 5 years, causing tens of thousands of civilian deaths, and taking the already poorest country in the Arab world to the brink of epidemic. The drone missile might’ve been Iranian-made. So what? Using that logic, then the U.S. is directly responsible for the deaths and injuries of anyone attacked by ANY and ALL the nations that the U.S. sells weaponry to (which is most of the world. The U.S. is the world’s largest seller of weaponry). Yemen has a right to defend itself from the brutal attacks waged on it by Saudi Arabia and UAE. This drone attack by the Houthis didn’t even hurt or kill anyone. Just damage to Saudi infrastructure. Too bad the same isn’t true for the barbaric aerial bombardment the Saudis have subjected the Yemenis to for the last nearly five years, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of INNOCENT Yemeni citizens.

Original Message
The United States has issued satellite images and cited intelligence to back its claim that Iran was behind attacks on major Saudi oil facilities.
Iran denies involvement in Saturday's air attacks, which were claimed by Iran-aligned Houthi rebels in Yemen.
But unnamed US officials speaking to US and international media say the direction and extent of the attacks cast doubt on Houthi involvement.
The incident has cut global oil supplies by 5% and prices have soared.
