    If this is true: it is a straight up act of war. The cost of not responding will be too high. Not responding to Iran's expansionist agenda and meddling in Iraq, Lebanon & Syria is exactly why we are where we are today.

    Iran launched nearly a dozen cruise missiles and over 20 drones from its territory in the attack on a key Saudi oil facility, a senior Trump administration official told News.

    So confirms that its investigation are still going ahead despite Sec of State Pompeo saying  “the information they have confirms the government’s statement that its territory was not used to carry out this attack'. A subtle diss to from the Saudis.

    Trump doesn't want war with & Saudis have historically preferred not to directly engage with hostilities. Iran and KSA been playing this cat and mouse game for decades, in the Middle East, using their proxies & 3rd party countries as battlefield. What would do?

    Fair assessment considering Trump put the ball in 's corner as a nation sovereign over its territory, thus putting it in the driver's seat for a possible reprisal while assuming the role of an assisting ally.

    If the U.S. don't respond this time, Ras Tanura facility will be burning within a month.

    17 points of impact. No Drones or missiles were detected/intercepted. Saudis & Americans still at loss as to where the attack was launched from. seriously needs to shop elsewhere & replace the Patriot or reinforce it with a web of radar operated AA guns like the Oerlikon.

    Photos released by Trump administration show extent of weekend attack on Saudi oil industry. US officials say evidence now pointing towards cruise missile attacks from Iraq or Iran, not drone strikes from Houthis in Yemen.…
