(US government\/Fox News)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>According to U.S. officials, the weapons used to attack Saudi oil facility structures originated from Iranian launching points. Naturally, the Iranians are denying that they did this. Considering the proximity of this facility to Iran, the Iranians&#8217; denial is meeting skepticism.<\/p>\n<p>These are the same folk that claimed that they shot our drone down &#8220;inside Iranian airspace&#8221;. They also claimed that we shot our own drown down when it was clearly an Iranian drone.<\/p>\n<p>In one of President Trump&#8217;s replies, he stated that we were ready to take action. But, he&#8217;s waiting on confirmation by Saudi government sources regarding Iran, and on the Saudi government&#8217;s desire on how to address this issue.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From Fox News:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Satellite photos released by the Trump administration show at least 17 impacts at two major Saudi oil installations &#8212; with what officials say was pinpoint accuracy &#8212; slashing Saudi Arabia&#8217;s oil output by half.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Iran has now launched an unprecedented attack on the world&#8217;s energy supply,&#8221; Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said, in part, on Twitter. &#8220;There is no evidence the attacks came from Yemen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>U.S. officials told Fox News previous attacks from the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen only involved one or two drones at most and targeted southern Saudi Arabia. The attacks Saturday, however, hit facilities near the Persian Gulf not far from Iran, which denied responsibility.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For its part, Iran is emphasizing its desire for the U.S. to leave Syria. They appear to be &#8220;advocating&#8221; that Syria&#8217;s territorial integrity be preserved. They argue that our removal would aid in that objective.<\/p>\n<p>You could read more on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/saudi-arabia-oil-attack-came-from-iranian-soil-us-officials.amp\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to U.S. officials, the weapons used to attack Saudi oil facility structures originated from Iranian &hellip; <a title=\"Oil Facility Attack Launched from Iran per U.S. Officials\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=90704\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Oil Facility Attack Launched from Iran per U.S. Officials<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-90704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90704","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=90704"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90704\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":90821,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90704\/revisions\/90821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=90704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=90704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=90704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
