Are you pleased that Iran provided them and the result is a catastrophic climate event and the loss of millions of barrels of oil?

Of course you are.

You're worried about fucking oil instead of the hundreds of thousands of dead Yemenis and the millions starving and displaced.
Killed, maimed and displaced with Western weaponry, you lame-brained addlepate.

Saudi oil attacks: Iran condemns US 'deceit' after accusation

Iran has accused the US of "deceit" after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Tehran was behind damaging drone attacks on two Saudi oil facilities.

Mr Pompeo had rejected claims by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels that they had carried out the attacks.

Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said that "blaming Iran won't end the disaster" in Yemen.

Like I said, I remember how much fun you thought they were when Obama used them

I don't care about the Middle East. We are energy independent now. We don't need to fight their wars any longer. You should be glad too

Driil here and no more war for oil. ISn't that what you want?
 
It was the Houthis from Yemen. Trump immediately blamed Iran because he wants his war. Are we responsible for what all the munitions we sell across the globe do? We are the no'1 seller of military equipment in the world. Trump and the rightys went straight at Iran, within minutes. Houthis have sent hundreds of air attacks into Saudi Arabia. Tghis is not new.
 
If Iran did the actual drone,or it was done directly by the Huthis -there is no difference, since Iran trained
and supplied them
It's yet more Iran proxy war mischief -just like the Quds, and militias ( Hez etc)

Proxy war shit is possible. We have been doing it for generations without getting direct blame. I don't see this as a good thing for Iran. Why would they do this when they know the Repubs are crying for a war? Iran has enough trouble with Trump starving its people. They do not want to fight the US. Trump wants a war to help his presidential chances. He is well behind the Dem candidates.

So it's the US that's bombing the Palestinians and not the Izraeli fascists at all. Neat.

Your horse won't run though. Your baker didn't eat your lunch.

Drone attacks claimed by Yemen’s Houthi rebels struck two key oil installations inside Saudi Arabia on Saturday, damaging facilities that process the vast majority of the country’s crude output and raising the risk of a disruption in world oil supplies.

The attacks immediately escalated tensions in the Persian Gulf amid a standoff between the United States and Iran, even as key questions remained unanswered — where the drones were launched from, and how the Houthis managed to hit facilities deep in Saudi territory, some 500 miles from Yemeni soil.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused Iran of being behind what he called “an unprecedented attack on the world’s energy supply” and asserted that there was “no evidence the attacks came from Yemen.” He did not, however, specify an alternative launch site, and the Saudis themselves refrained from pointing the finger directly at Iran.

President Trump condemned the attack in a phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and offered support for “Saudi Arabia’s self defense,” the White House said in a statement, adding that the United States “remains committed to ensuring global oil markets are stable and well supplied.”

The Houthis said they had launched the aerial attacks with 10 drones, which would amount to their most audacious strike on Saudi Arabia since the kingdom intervened in Yemen’s war more than four years ago. The Saudi-led bombing campaign has devastated the impoverished country and exacerbated the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

The Houthis are part of a regional network of militant groups aligned with and backed by Iran, Saudi Arabia’s regional rival. American and Saudi officials suspect that Iran has dispatched technicians to Yemen to train the Houthis on drone and missile technology.

United Nations investigators have written that the Houthis have acquired advanced drones that could have a range of up to 930 miles. That leaves open the possibility that the drones used Saturday had flown from Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen. But they may also have been launched from another country, such as Iraq, or from inside Saudi Arabia itself.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps has been training its militia proxies in the region, from Lebanon to Yemen, in more sophisticated warfare using drones, according to two people in Iran with knowledge of the programs.

In Yemen, for example, after Houthi missiles targeting Saudi Arabia were intercepted, Iran moved to train Houthis in drone technology, taking groups to Iran to master assembling, managing and repairing drones, said the people familiar with the programs.
