Oil attacks ‘unquestionably sponsored by Iran’: Saudi Arabia

Al Jazeera  

Defence ministry says no way attacks were launched from Yemen but Houthi rebels boast drones can easily fly 700km. Saudi Arabia said strikes on its oil infrastructure came from the “north” and were “unquestionably” Showing debris from the alleged weapons used at a press conference on Wednesday, a defence ministry spokesman said there was no way the attacks could have been launched from Yemen, as claimed by the Iran-aligned Houthi rebels. Saudi Arabia proved “it knows nothing”, an adviser to Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said, after al-Malki’s presentation. But al-Malki said: “Despite Iran’s efforts to make it appear so”, the attack did not originate from Yemen, it was beyond the capabilities of the Houthi militia – who have, however, mounted dozens of smaller attacks on Saudi territory. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, said the strike on the heart of the kingdom’s oil industry was a “real test” of global will.
