[GCC=Gulf Cooperation Council]

Makkah: The GCC Summit in Makkah has condemned the recent sabotage operations, which targeted four tankers in UAE’s regional waters and drone attacks on Saudi oil facilities.

The GCC leaders discussed the exceptional circumstances and dangerous challenges the region is undergoing following the recent attacks on the UAE and Saudi Arabia and their ramifications and direct threat to the regional security and peace, to freedom of global marine navigation and trade as well as to world oil markets as a result of attempts by some countries to undermine security and stability of the region, support terrorism and interfere in other countries’ internal affairs.

Obama's $160 billion of US Tax Dollars at work: funding terrorism and spreading chaos and Iran used for its Nuclear Programme.

Conclusions of this meeting (from the article):

The final communique also:

• denounced Iranian intervention in the Syrian crisis and its impact on Syria’s unity;

• condemned the launching of Iranian-made ballistic missiles from Yemen toward Saudi Arabia;

• condemned Iran’s interference in the affairs of Bahrain, and its support of terrorist groups there; and

• condemned Iran’s occupation of three islands belonging to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Also from the article (and of interest) is:

The GCC leaders also condemned the Iranian-backed Al Houthi militias’ drone attack against oil pumping stations in the Saudi districts of Duwadmi and Afif. The leaders said these terrorist attacks were undermining security of the region, global economy and international oil supplies.

The GCC, it said, voiced full solidarity with Saudi Arabia against these terrorist threats and supported Saudi Arabia’s measures to protect its security, stability and territorial safety, citing more than 225 ballistic missile attacks and 155 drone attacks by terrorist Al Houthi militias against Saudi areas, including the holy city of Makkah (Mecca).

IDIOT Nancy Pelosi tried to make the 'Al Houthi militias' a protected species by passing legislation calling the US to no longer have BLACK OPS in Yemen...

We can see how Iran has used the $160 billion that former President Obama-Mess gave Iran (US tax dollars) by financing terrorism in the Middle East and investing in Military Hardware.

From Wikipedia:

Mecca or Makkah is a city in the Hejazi region of the Arabian Peninsula, and the plain of Tihamah in Saudi Arabia, and is also the capital and administrative headquarters of the Makkah Region.

This article is from the Arab perspective of the Persian Gulf States and is the result of the leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council meeting.

That treason action by Obama should have led to his impeachment and conviction, if not a firing squad.

He gives that money to Iran and the Republicans and press didn’t raise a stink. Trump is excoriated and hounded to death for trying to spend less than 10% of that to protect our borders and nation.

Saudi Arabia did launch airstrikes against Yemen against the Al Houlti terrorist for the drone strikes, rocket attacks on Saudi Arabia, as well as Missile attacks.

How was the attack done on the four tankers? [Hopefully] US Intel community knows, but I don't know if the GCC knows if this was an Al Houlthi attack from terrorists in Yemen or neighboring Oman or from UAE itself.

Or was it by Iran via some its one dozen mini-subs?

I have heard nothing definite on this. There was an Israeli report that there were no explosions and were the result of ramming the tankers by subs (it was explosions and Israeli report was totally false).

I assume it was by Mini-Subs from Iran. What should the GCC response be? Launch air strikes by Saudi Arabia and UAE against Iran such as against Iranian patrol boats in the Persian Gulf? Air attacks on Iranian targets such as oil refineries [China relies on Iran for oil as does some of the members of the EU (Germany for one)].

Iran may have atomic weapons (atom bombs or hydrogen bombs). How? North Korea could sell them to Iran...

SPINELESS Republicans and DEEP STATE Media...

Serious problems our country has.

I heard that Trump's focus of attacks for the 2020 election will be the Deep State Media and not the treasonous Democrats...

Thanks topher. Good luck with that OIC when the muzzie civil war resumes. Spoiler alert -- we're going to make sure none of the sides run out of ammo. Have a great day, all.
