Attack on Saudi refinery
I suppose everyone has now heard of the missile attack on the world's largest oil refinery.
Trump says that the missiles came from inside Iran, and USA is "locked and loaded".
The news has cost a spike in oil of 18 percent so far.
This is being pushed as casus belli, and will undoubtedly bolster Trump's approval rating should war eventuate.

Trump Unwilling to Meet With Iran With ‘No Conditions,’ Contradicting Pompeo, Mnuchin and Himself
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
The Fake News is saying that I am willing to meet with Iran, “No Conditions.” That is an incorrect statement (as usual!).
Earlier this week, both Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin said Trump was willing to sit down with the Iranian president with “no conditions” or “no preconditions.”
Just what we need is to drug into a war by the "stable genius" to protect Saudi Arabia, the people that financed 9/11.
Fortunately, he stated on twitter this morning he is "waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!" Apparently they buy a lot of condos from him and he has to ask his masters first for permission.

Re: Attack on Saudi refinery
Houti rebels in Yemen have claimed responsibility.
Re: Attack on Saudi refinery
Missiles weren't fired from inside Iran, the Iranian backed Houthi Rebels used drones to deploy the projectiles.
Re: Attack on Saudi refinery
I would guess you're referring to the humans?
Anyway, party like it's 1999...

Re: Attack on Saudi refinery
It doesn't mention where the drones were flown from, maybe it's not yet known. Iran is a lot closer to the refinery than Yemen is though.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
Re: Attack on Saudi refinery
The drones were not deployed from within Iran. These were not military style drones like predators, etc... they were standard personal drones like people use to take photos and video footage with, similar to a phantom which has a max 7km flight distance.
