Yemen’s Iranian-aligned Houthi rebels claimed credit for the attack, saying they sent 10 drones to strike at important facilities in Saudi Arabia’s oil-rich Eastern Province. The production shutdown amounts to a loss of about five million barrels a day, the people said, roughly 5% of the world’s daily production of crude oil.
Officials said they hoped to restore production to its regular level of 9.8 million barrels a day by Monday.
Iran's proxies strike again.
I'll lay down some $ that says the US military will help lay waste to some Houthi strongholds this coming week.
I wouldn't be surprised if SA and other ME countries...including Israel...lay waste to some juicy targets in Iran.

SA are bad guys. There are Jewish communities in Iran that have been there for centuries. It's illegal to practice Judaism in SA. SA promotes an extreme fundamentalist version of Islam. They execute people for blasphemy and witchcraft. Most of the 9/11 attackers were from SA. Some from SA government actually helped the 9/11 terrorists. Iran is Shiites and Shiites do not blow themselves up.
There is a cold war between SA and Iran. Why are we on the side of the bad guys?
getting real in ME
What will the retaliation be?

Looks to me like that "cold war" is getting hot. Do you think the rest of the ME will stand by and let it flare up even hotter?
Warren's promise to shut down fracking on day one looks DOA
It was already pretty hot in Syria. It will definitely get hotter in Yemen after this. But SA is losing support among conservatives so they have to tread lightly.

Don't you remember when a bunch of Iranians flew planes into American buildings? Oh wait a minute.
Don't you remember when Iran attacked an American ship in cold blood, and fired machine guns at the life rafts in an attempt to ensure there were no survivors? Oh wait a minute.
With friends like Israel and Saudi Arabia, who needs enemies?
Here comes our resident anti-Israel conspiracist with fake history over a minor diplomatic incident in the 60s
Shocked I tell you
As technology evolves the ME situation will become increasingly unstable. Israel and the U.S. have used the might-makes-right approach. Why is Israel allowed to have nuclear weapons but Iran is not? Might makes right.
When you take that approach the weaker party has no choice but to fight back using guerilla tactics. Now drones exist. SA and Israel can be attacked with drones.
What should we do? We should not get involved in this Muslim civil war between Shiites and Sunnis.

President Trump called Saudi Arabia’s day-to-day ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, on Saturday and said the U.S. was ready to “cooperate with the kingdom in supporting its security and stability,” according to the Saudi Press Agency, the official news service.
The White House confirmed that Mr. Trump spoke with the crown prince, saying in a statement that the president offered “his support for Saudi Arabia’s self-defense.”
