Saudi Arabia alleged on Wednesday that Iranian cruise missiles and drones attacked the heart of the kingdom's oil industry, showing journalists the remains of the weapons. Iran denies being involved and has threatened the US it will retaliate "immediately" if Tehran is targeted over the attack, which was claimed by Yemen's Houthi rebels.

The news conference by Saudi military spokesman Col. Turki Al Malki comes after a summer of heightened tensions between Iran and the US over President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrawing America from Tehran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.

The US has said Iran was behind the attack on Saudi oil installations this weekend.

"The attack was launched from the north and was unquestionably sponsored by Iran," Al Malki told journalists.

The news conference took place with a backdrop of broken and burnt drones and pieces of one cruise missile collected from the attacks.

Al Malki described the drones as "delta wing" models, which looked like large triangles. The cruise missile had a small jet engine attached to it, he said.

Eighteen drones and seven cruise missiles were launched in the assault, Al Malki said, with three missiles failing to make their targets. He said the cruise missiles had a range of 700km, meaning they could not have been fired from inside Yemen. He played surveillance video he said showed a drone coming in from the north.

"This the kind of weapon the Iranian regime and the Iranian IRGC are using against the civilian object and facilities infrastructure," he said, using an acronym for Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard

Let the WAR be avoided

crude oil prices go increase

Fabricated nonsense. The Saudis staged that attack with the help from Mossad , an Israeli intelligence agency. The goal is simple
1. Raise the cost of crude and earn more money that can help fund their war in Yemen
2. Make people forget about the upcoming (first) anniversary of the killing of Jamal Khashoggi
3. Push the US to destabilize Iran

Even if it WAS Iran, the fact that Iran can attack with such impunity shows the utter impotence of US defense systems.

Wrong, how then did the mossad get the Houthis to claim responsibility? Today they threatened to hit Abu Dhabi and dubai with thesame drones, thesame Yemeni general saree said it.

Russia seems to be the ref in this battle

1.The Houthis could just claim responsibility out of anger due to what they are going through . We all know when two enemies fight , one side would celebrate and claim responsibility if something bad happened to the other side.

2. Mossad and the Saudis might well be the ones pretending to be Houthis. They used the same misleading techniques in Libya and Syria where many of their agents in pro Assad or pro Gaddafi fighters uniform were committing horrendous crimes .
