They claim that the two fires are under control but if you watch the video at the site you'll know there must be extensive damage and you don;t repair refineries too easily. This is the WORLD'S largest refinery.

A few more attacks like this would be bad publicity for the potential IPO of ARAMCO.

That IPO might never happen anyhow. Vastly overvalued in the early iterations.
And the IPO is hardly the biggest concern if a few drones can knock out a refinery that can handle 7% of ALL the world’s production. This is a whole new scary capability.

Which is to say, proxies of Iran attacked the Saudis.

Reminiscent of Saddam's burning of the oil fields back in '91. Also, doesn't look like fires are "under control."
Seems to be the drones used have quite a range to have been launched from Yemen.

Seems like a pretty big escalation here. Iran is just asking for a real beat down. I expect after Trump is reelected the Saudis and Israelis will take care of them.

Would I be wrong in saying our intelligence would know from where these were sourced? Could we not take out these installations in Yemin?

Everybody could do it. Including Saudis themselves. There are too many parties to benefit. My guess you need to wait for the official line from MSM and suppose the opposite.

Which is to say.
Iran attacked the American, Israeli and Saudi one world order...

I worked for ARAMCO 2013 to 2015.
Was originally supposed to work in the hospital in Abqaiq, but got sent to Hofuf instead, further south and inland. The Abqaiq camp is built around that giant refinery and potential loss of life of ARAMCO employees and their families is pretty big. It’s close enough to Dharan that the folks at ARAMCO headquarters will see/smell it.
Third terrorist attack on that facility. One in 2006, a minor one in 2015 with a shooting at the main gate and now this one.
These kind of attacks on ARAMCO are an existential threat to the Saudi state.
EVERYONES Rice Bowl in Saudi is tied to ARAMCO.

Where did the Houti get drones? They sure as heck didn't build them.

Time for the Saudi coalition to wipe out Yemeni terrorists. long overdue. And send all the "palestinians" back to Jordan, where they belong.

This would be good news for Alberta, if it could only get its oil to the coast to go on the world market.
Thanks Trudeau, for all that you do for my province.
Thanks for nothing.
