#BREAKING
#Iran-backed Houthi militias claim responsibility for a drone attack targeting the world's largest oil field in Buqayq, eastern Saudi Arabia.
Footage of drone attack launched by #Iran-backed Houthis
-Drone attacks overnight on two Aramco factories in Abqaiq & Khurais provinces, fires under control: Saudi interior ministry
-Strikes against oil infrastructure can have massive economic & environmental consequences
This thread provides numerous videos of the drone attack in eastern Saudi Arabia.
#Iran-backed Houthis are claiming responsibility.

@no_itsmyturn IMPORTANT
Buqayq in eastern Saudi Arabia is far closer to Iran & Iraq than Yemen where the #Iran-backed Houthis are stationed.

Reminder:
Back in June, U.S. officials concluded drone attacks on Saudi Arabia’s oil industry in May were launched from Iraq.

@no_itsmyturn #UPDATE
New video and reports claiming to be a Kuwaiti man hunting last night hearing what some are describing as a mid-range cruise missile.
If true, this could be a missile fired from Iraq towards Buqayq in eastern Saudi Arabia.
@no_itsmyturn #UPDATE
#Iran-backed Houthis apparently used "Quds-1" cruise missiles in the attack targeting Aramco oil facilities at Buqayq in eastern Saudi Arabia.
This is a replica of Iran's "Sumar" cruise missile.

@almostjingo @drawandstrike @SecStudiesGrp @CarrollQuigley1 @GeorgWebb @eyad1949 @EmadAlmudaifer @HNIJohnMiller @rising_serpent @cvpayne REPORT:
As Pompeo completes consultations with Saudis, White House ordered Pentagon to provide military options against #Iran after documenting launch of attacks on Saudi oil facilities. The limited military response is more likely to target Iranian navy command & control sites.

#UPDATE
1)
 Saudi Arabia and U.S. assessments indicate there is a “very high probability” that low altitude cruise missiles, launched from an Iranian base near the Iraq border, were used in this weekend’s attack targeting Saudi oil facilities.
2)
 Saudi Cabinet:
This aggression is an extension of previous attacks on Aramco with #Iran-made weapons. Int'l community should take tougher stance.
King Salman of Saudi Arabia: KSA will defend its territory and facilities no matter where these attacks come from
3)
 Tehran-backed Houthi spox:
The near future defensive operations will be harsher and more painful if the aggression and siege continue.
