US President Donald Trump on Sunday issued a veiled warning to Iran following the attack on Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities.
While Trump did not mention Iran, he wrote on Twitter, “Saudi Arabia oil supply was attacked. There is reason to believe that we know the culprit, are locked and loaded depending on verification, but are waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!”
Saudi Arabia said that the drone strikes on its key oil facilities disrupted about half of the kingdom's oil capacity, or 5% of the daily global oil supply.
Yemen's Houthi rebels took responsibility for the attacks, saying 10 drones targeted state-owned Saudi Aramco oil facilities in Abqaiq and Khurais.

Yeah, let’s wreck the economy and get stuck in a yuge war, then lose the election.
Great plan..!
I'm waiting to hear from the Saudis under what terms THEY would proceed, since it is their problem.
I’m okay with any military response as long as we hit the right target and don’t send troops in.
The forensic analysis of the attack apparently showed that the attack came from the northerly direction, either from Iraq or Iran.
Green light the Saudis for a giant brush back pitch. Make it hurt.
Where did he mention war?
Hillary ordered Lurch who told the mullahs...
I am sure, if the Saudis wanted, would clobber Iran for their attack. The US would provide logistic support via our surveillance capabilities.
1. The President makes a peace offering to negotiate with terrorists.
2. Terrorists blow stuff and kill people up in response.
3. The President has the U.S. military blow up terrorists and what they really don't want blown up.
4. Everyone except Democrats and the news media notices the pattern.
Establishment Republicans will love the idea.
Somebody did something. Could have been missiles. Could have been drones. Could have been both. I doubt we’ll ever really know.
They’re trying to rope the President and the US into another conflict, right before the election. They’ll show the President talking about pulling out of the ME, only to go to war again.
Lend support to our allies, nothing more.
How about sending 30-40 cruise missiles on a trip to Kharg Island?
Let’s see if the Saudis can walk the walk for a change. We can supply the support and logistics; it’s time they supply a little blood and firepower over there.
Iran’s oil and military facilities should be taken out. That would solve the problem. As it is, Iran will continue the attacks, until fuel prices here are sky high.
Nuke Iran
Just do it
Iran—the main source of terrorism—is effectively isolated and is the planned last stop in the War on Terror.
The billionaire PTB are getting desperate now. The Corruptocrat Dems like John Fraud have been trying to trigger Trump to attack them for a year now. The Iranians keep ratcheting up the attacks.
They NEED a war to trigger high gas prices, leading to a US recession. That means Dems win in 2020, and the world’s PTB go back to sucking the American Taxpayer’s wealth away, at great profit to themselves.
Getting a bunch of peons killed in a brutal war is just collateral damage to these people. THEY will be protected.
