THE Latest on tensions in the Persian Gulf and the fallout after weekend attack on major oil sites in Saudi Arabia (all times local):

3:35 p.m.

President Donald Trump says it’s “looking like” Iran was responsible for the attacks on key oil installations in Saudi Arabia, but he says he doesn’t want war.

Trump said Monday at the White House that the U.S. is not looking at retaliatory options until he has “definitive proof” that Iran was responsible.

Still, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that the U.S. “is prepared” if the attacks warrant a response.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also says “emerging information indicates that responsibility lies with Iran.”

Iran has denied involvement, though it comes amid heightened tensions over Tehran’s unraveling nuclear deal with world powers, including the U.S., which pulled out of the deal last year.

Trump should be ashamed of himself. He sold a multi billion dollars missile defense system to the Saudis and when the attacks came, the defense system failed to work. Saudi Arabia should immediately return the shity defense system and ask for a refund.

The Saudis are not that smart or intelligent, give the Persians same weapons and see if they won't pluck any bird that flies close to their territory.

This is a lesson to people who always think sophisticated weapons automatically translate to military victory, the Saudi military is lazy, unmotivated and undisciplined, no matter the weapons they acquire, they can't face real and potent enemy.

The US missile defense system is an overrated piece of shit. Based of the level of its sophistication, it should be able to detect and bring down missiles from a ragtag houthi militia. What will happen if countries like China or Russia decides to attack with far more sophisticated missiles? The Saudis may be incompetent but the US missile defense system is overrated.

Even if it WAS Iran, the fact that Iran can attack with such impunity shows the utter impotence of US defense systems.
68 Billion USD's worth of scrap metal and counting. The Patriot has been a total failure since it was first used in the Iraq war. Amid unrealistic claims of success against Iraqi Scuds, the truth is, at least according to some leading defense experts and anonymous US military sources, that they might have knocked down 1 Scud or none at all. Yet, knowing this, countries like KSA and Poland embrace this piece of junk like it was the second coming.

Patiently waiting for zoharariel, though he was bitter with his Lord, Putin.
Also, I heard Russia wants to sell S-400 to Saudi.
