Case includes radar tracks showing cruise missiles/drones out of Iran.
#UPDATE
-Saudi amb to UK: #Iran is almost certainly responsible for Aramco attack

@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.
@almostjingo @drawandstrike @SecStudiesGrp @CarrollQuigley1 @GeorgWebb @eyad1949 @EmadAlmudaifer @HNIJohnMiller @rising_serpent @cvpayne #UPDATE
Washington:
Saudi Crown Prince meets Pompeo in Jeddah today to discuss coordinating efforts to counter #Iran's aggressive regional behavior.

Iran warns U.S. any action taken against it will “immediately” be met with a response.

#BREAKING
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.

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
