The 250-hectare complex can process 7 million barrels of oil a day. The real issue is that it is located in Eastern Province, way the hell and gone from Yemen. Saudi Arabia will have to decide sooner or later whether to lay waste the Shiite provinces in Yemen, or maybe hit Iranian complexes in a tit for tat move.
“The real issue is that it is located in Eastern Province, way the hell and gone from Yemen. “
And the Eastern province is majority Shia. So lots of Huthi and Iranian supporters.
The correct tit-for-tat move would not be to hit Iranian export processing facilities. The correct response would be to hit Iranian refined product IMPORT facilities. If Iran persists, then hit their refineries. No refined products - country will grind to a halt in a few weeks.
