Attack on Saudi Arabian oil facility could destabilize already-tense relations between the U.S. and Iran:
The Saudi Aramco oil processing facility in Abqaiq, Saudi Arabia was attacked on Saturday by a reported dozen cruise missiles and more than 20 drones. Analysts of the site reported at least 17 hits on what is the world’s largest oil processing facility. Saudi Arabia announced later that there were no fatalities or injuries despite raging fires, but an estimated 5.7 million barrels in global oil supplies were interrupted.
Saudi Arabia has claimed that Iran was behind the attack, but presented no evidence, and that even if the Houthi rebels conducted the attack, they were supplied by the Iranian government, which has indeed supported the group before. Saudi Arabia leads a West-supported military coalition supporting Yemen’s government, while Iran backs the Houthi rebels in Yemen’s ongoing civil war.that they say reveals the missiles came from the northwest, not Houthi-controlled territory to the Southwest.
