Saudi oil fields on fire, but who did it?

[moose1am]

What should the Saudi's to stop these type of attacks in the future? And should Saudi Arabia attack Iran to retaliate for this attack on the Saudi Oil Fields and production facilities?

What should Trump do?

My best guess is the militant wing of the Salvation Army.

Iran and the Houthi are the same side. Which makes it unnecessary to discriminate between the two in target selection.



Of course, since this is an ongoing war, retaliation is mandatory - plus "x". The alternative is to accept defeat. I am not in knowlerdge of what the Saudi military is capable of, however, but honestly I do not expect too muchg, even if thy buy modern US weaponry like crazy - I still have on mind Gen. Frank's description of how they played "training" like little boys in '90/'91 when they got those new M1s.



Maybe they want to side up with Israel if they consider to strike Iran. Better for them it would be, no doubt. The allied UAE's fighting competence does not seem to have cut it.



Whats the legal situation in miltiary treaties between the US and SA? Is there a legal obligation of the US from some treaty of SA gets attacked directly by a foreiogn power? Formally the Houthi could not count for that since formally SA started the war, but Iran would be a different thing, I think.

My thoughts on this:

Was it Iran who directly attacked those targets in SA ?

Or did Iran do this in-directly by giving Huthi drones, weapons and train them in using these drones ?

Will USA/SA try to find an excuse to attack Iran ?

I don't like the idea in which USA and SA attack targets in Iran and then in 10-15 years from now we are being told it was based on a big lie.

Both sides (Iran and Yemen) are both against Saudi, especially Iran with their oil production being curtailed.

Saudi can't afford to attack Iran without first protecting their oil fields or they will loose the other half.

Nothing will happen till Saudi is ready to fight back. Meanwhile 5% of the world's oil production has been destroyed.

Price of gas going up for sure not to mention war drums are beating and no doubt in my mind President Trump will be right in the middle of it all.

I can't remember his title or what he was expert on/in

Said on Danish tv, couple of month back or so

"Saudi-Arabia is no match for Iran.

Iran is the super power among the Islamic states in the region with the exception of Israel."(from my memory)

So far Iran is taking part in this civil war in Yemen by supporting the Houthi. The question is:
Will they go from supporting Houthi to full scale war against SA.
Or take directly part in the civil war in Yemen.

I fear it will turn from bad to worse.

Iranian Revolutionary Guards are on ground in Syria, Jemen, Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon. Israel has carried oput dozens and dozens of air attacks in the past years in syria, attacking bases and depots of the RG.



Iran is fully engaged in war already. Europe (and Obama) just shy away from calling it that, because that would mean the honey moon of Europe with Iran is over. Whether the Donald means serious business or just once again shows his big mouth remains to be seen. Without massive US support, the SA military probbaly is nto mwrth all thebadrware they bought in revcent years. They are one of the biggest customers of military grade equipment and weapons since years.



Add to this the financial and logictical support by Iran for Muslim terrorism around the world.
