HEADS UP: We appear to have confirmation the recent strikes on Saudi oil facilities were carried out by Quds cruise missiles.

The missile has a range of 2,000 km.

The facility is 3500 km from Yemen.

For one thing, if they came from Iran they’d have to fly over the Persian Gulf past quite a few U.S. naval assets.

US officials insist the photos show impacts consistent with attack coming from the direction of #Iran rather than from #Yemen

The WSJ is a propaganda rag no better than the Washington Post, NY Times, and CNN.

Bolton is a Fudd cop. Anything other than stationing Pershing nuclear weapons next to Iran will not do. Iran is Soviet and Chicom instigated. They are the ones who must feel the heat over this and then Iran will back down. There is no such thing as a rogue state.

The good news is that now the Saudis have an excuse for cutting their oil production to prop up prices for OPEC. :-P
