Dubai: Saudi Energy Minister Khalid Al Falih said on Tuesday that two oil pumping stations for the East-West pipeline had been hit by explosive-laden drones, calling the attack "an act of terrorism" that targeted global oil supplies.
Falih condemned the attacks in a statment saying: "The latest acts of terrorism and sabotage in the Arabian Gulf... not only target the Kingdom but also the security of oil supplies to the world and the global economy."
"These attacks prove again that it is important for us to face terrorist entities, including the Houthi militias in Yemen that are backed by Iran," he said.

You want us to go to war against Iran based on Saudi dogma? Is “Bert” the Freepers handle for Bolton? Bolton wants everybody else’s kid to fight in Middle East but when Bolton had his chance to fight in Vietnam, he didn’t go. Guess he didn’t want his mustache soiled
