NEWS: The US has identified the exact locations in Iran from which a combination of more than 20 drones and cruise missiles was launched against the Saudi oil facilities—from southern Iran at the northern end of the Persian Gulf, per a Sr. US official to @CBSDavidMartin @CBSNews
The senior official tells @CBSDavidMartin Saudi air defenses are all oriented south to protect against Houthi missile attacks from Yemen and were useless against missiles coming in from the north. @CBSNews
More from a US official to @CBSDavidMartin: A US team has been on the ground at the oil facilities and identified the specific types of drones and cruise missiles fired. @CBSNews
The wreckage has been moved to a facility outside Riyadh where it will be used to make what a U.S. official called “a very compelling forensic case” that Iran launched “a complex and coordinated attack.” @CBSNews @CBSDavidMartin
In addition to the wreckage, the forensic case will include radar tracks reconstructed after the fact that show the cruise missiles and drones coming out of Iran, per the senior official @CBSDavidMartin @CBSNews
