Houthis claim responsibility for drone attacks on Saudi Aramco facilities

Sure some other thread reported out but didn't provide any skins so here we go. Iran is connected at the hip to the Houthis. Me thinks that this goes deeper and its a countermeasure against the USA Trump administration as in who in our government support Iran vocally. Someone gave Iran the green light to go. The Houthis didn't do this just because. Ten [10] drones is quite the operation.

10 drones deployed against the sites in Abqaiq and Khurais Saudi interior ministry says blaze in facilities have been contained DUBAI: Drone attacks caused fires in two major Saudi Aramco facilities in the kingdom, the Saudi interior ministry said on Saturday. Yemen’s Houthi group claimed responsibility for drone attacks on two Saudi Aramco plants in the kingdom’s Eastern Province on Saturday, the group’s military spokesman said on Al-Masirah TV. The broadcaster said the Houthis had deployed 10 drones against the sites in Abqaiq and Khurais, and the group pledged to widen the range of its attacks on Saudi Arabia, which leads a coalition fighting them in Yemen.

So here is what Israel is reporting

Because what ?
Because they're at war with Saudi ? , I think they probably did do this because.

Saudi use US weaponry to attack the Houthis so the Houthis use Iranian weaponry to attack Saudi ... Simples !

I'm interested to hear your thoughts on this op, care to share them?

Well thanks for responding but I have noticed a possible connection here. It appears that when the USA - USDOJ makes a move or announcement then an Iran connected player "does something" several days later. It is almost like a Cause & Effect statistical analysis. It seems to me than when the Trump administration USDOJ moves forward to indict, investigate or arrest a major player that someone in the Middle East farts in the bath tub as in the case of Drone and Cruise Missile attacks against Saudi Arabia, seizure of other countries ships, etc.

This is going to take some time but look at what our leaders in Congress and the Senate did to Trump on Iran several months ago. I am not a Pulitzer award winning journalist but I do know statistical analysis. I could put together a simple cause & effect diagram since the Mueller report was released and compare USDOJ actions to proceed against those in the past administration or FBI on possible criminal charges as compared to Iran's and its players actions. Its interesting. It will take several hours of work. It all just seems way too convenient for all one side in our elected government railing on Israel and Saudi Arabia yet supporting Iran. Just too strange.

Of course there's a connection , Iran use their proxy the Houthis to attack Saudi oil infrastructure because their own oil infrastructure is sanctioned by Saudi proxy the US , Iran seek to destabalise the market.

The attack suits the needs of both the Houthis and Iran.

Except the US is largely energy independent now. A lost of Middle Eastern oil hurts us far, far less than it would have even 5 or 6 years ago.

They all piss in the same pot mate........................... Be it Houthi Iranis, Ruskies behind the scenes, even Saudi's attacking their own or other arabs doing it, they are all going to see loads more dosh coming into the coffers. All the oil men win on all sides when something rocks the boat

Unless there is some kind of secret fairplay agreement that supports a minimum price for middle eastern oil.
The US has a massive reserve of oil for just such a crisis, not sure if DJT can order the release of the oil from the trillion barrel Strategic Petroleum Reserve on the open market at these low prices though.

He doesn't have to. We produce so much domestically that we've been exporting our own petroleum.

This is a real cluster.... I don't know enough to response intelligently. Using post as a place holder.

There's a world outside of America that is not in such a position and a global economy sensitive to oil price fluctuations , problems caused to that by rising oil prices will impact America.

If Syria, Iran and Russia are fighting ISIS..
And we are fighting Syria, Iran and Russia..
Whos side are we on..?

It would actually impact America in a positive way...

Higher world oil prices means we make more money on exported energy, after all...

We are pretty much done importing oil as of this quarter and we're a net exporter of Nat Gas now.

I would be very interested to see that analysis, if you can find the time to do it. It would also make a good thread on its own.

I may just look at what has happened since the Andrew McCabe stuff came out.

1. Two MSM stories slamming QANON
2. Drone strike on Saudi refinery
3. New investigation into Supreme Court Judge Brett Kavanaugh

This stuff seems to pop up like a wack a mole every time the USDOJ takes a step forward in prosecuting the FISA and Dossier group of traitors et. al.
