Saudis reveals wreckage of cruise missiles/drones
Official-Attack on Aramco not only targets Saudi Arabia, but targets the whole world. We call on int'l community to recognize #Iran's malicious attacks. Iran tried to falsify facts. Attack on Aramco came from the north.
Saudi official:
"We have evidence of Iran's involvement in acts of sabotage in the region through its agents. Attack on Aramco oil facilities shows Iranian regime targeting civilians and infrastructure. Iran is behind the Aramco attacks."
Saudi official:
"Iran manufactured the weapons that targeted Aramco. Precision missiles were used to target Aramco. Attacks on Aramco did not come from Yemen."

#UPDATE
Saudi Arabia is officially holding #Iran's regime responsible for Saturday's attack on its oil facilities.

#Thread Senator @HawleyMO with one of the best Commencement Addresses we've heard in years. His speech is pure MAGA Populism. Here are a few clips:

"The truth is, the people at the top of our society have built a culture and an economy that work mainly for themselves." 1/
@HawleyMO Senator @HawleyMO on the Elites dismissal of the concerns of the Working Class:

"Now I rather suspect, it's just a hunch, that if globalization threatened America's tech industry or its say banking sector that we would hear a different tone." 2/
@HawleyMO Senator @HawleyMO:

"It is not the privileged but it is the common man and woman, it is not the elite but it is the everyday person who moves the destinies of the world. That burning insight was once the animating principle of American life and we must make it so again." 3/

Rouhani: America should tell us when did they abide by the #JCPOA that now they want to pull out? With the acceptation of some empty statements, they never did. #Iran #IranDeal

#Iran: several thousand people gathered o the central market in the Arab city of #Ahwaz to protest against the Iranian regime and what they describe as "discriminating policies against the Arab people"
#Iran: the situation later turned violent after Iranian police tried to break up the Arab protest in #Ahwaz, using tear gas and rubber bullets on the people.

The protests are a response to insults being made towards the Arab people on Iranian TV
#Iran: the Arab city of #Ahwaz today. Women are facing off against the Iranian police as they protest the regime's discriminating policies
