WASHINGTON - The United States believes Saturday’s attack on Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities were launched from Iran, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Tuesday, with one of them saying it originated in Iran’s southwest.
The officials did not provide evidence or detail the U.S. intelligence they used to make the assessments. Such U.S. intelligence, if shared publicly, could add to pressure for a response by the United States, Saudi Arabia and others. Iran denies any role in the strike on the world’s biggest crude oil processing plant, which knocked out half of Saudi Arabia’s oil production.
“Given the history of the administration’s trashing its own intelligence community why should we believe them now?” For months, Iranian officials issued veiled threats, saying that if Tehran were blocked from exporting oil, other countries would not be able to do so either.
