Houthis Claim Successful Attack On Aramco Oil Facility
Yemen’s Houthi rebels have claimed a successful attack on an unidentified oil facility of Saudi Aramco in Jizan, according to a report in Iranian state news agency IRNA. The strike with Badr 1 missiles took place on Monday, two days after an earlier one that targeted a Saudi frigate in Jizan.
That earlier attack, IRNA said, was in response to the Saudi forces killing Yemeni fisherman near the port of Hodeidah—the focal point of the Saudi-Houthi conflict.
The Yemeni war, which began in 2015, has led to the worst humanitarian crisis in the world at the moment, and there is no end in sight, as the Saudi-led forces continue to strike Hodeidah, widely considered as the location that could tip the scales in the war. Last month, after reports of a Houthi strike against a Saudi oil tanker, the rebel group offered a ceasefire, but it failed to hold.
Despite the humanitarian crisis, Yemen in August restarted crude oil exports. A 500,000-barrel cargo from a field in the southern province of Shabwa was sent to China, The National reported a couple of weeks ago.
Now there are plans to restart the rest of the oil fields in Shabwa and neighboring provinces, the secretary to the oil and minerals minister told the Emirati daily. The provinces are under the control of the elected government that the Houthis are fighting as a result of the intervention of the Saudi and Emirati forces.
There are also reports that Saudi Arabia has plans to build an oil port in another Yemeni province, the governorate of Al-Mahra in the southeast. The Al-Mahra governorate borders Oman, and the border crossing, as well as the seaport and airport in the governorate, is under the control of the Saudi and UAE coalition, which has been fighting the Iran-aligned Houthi rebels in Yemen for the last three years.

Where is Sum when you need him? Perhaps Davy can act like a stand-in for his “100% ally” and comment the developments in Iranian client state Yemen.

“… Israel and Saudi Arabia, are among the most corrupt nations on earth with records of human rights violations that are unparalleled….Israel and/or Saudi Arabia, the two least trustworthy friends imaginable, both of whom have been dancing with the devil for years, playing Washington and Moscow against each other to stay afloat.”

” America can only bring missiles down on soft targets in Syria, stage fake gas attacks and hit Syria and Russia with a barrage of lies. America’s missiles aren’t going to stop the defeat of the Idlib terrorists….
the American people are increasingly aware of Israel’s control over Trump policies and how those policies in no way serve America’s interests. This is new territory for Israel, facing real scrutiny for the first time.”
Keep the war in the ME until America dies and out of Asia.

This a SA nightmare, and they did it to themselves.
Even access to 1980’s mid level Russian missiles, they can kick some serious ass.

“the American people are increasingly aware of Israel’s control over Trump policies and how those policies in no way serve America’s interests. This is new territory for Israel, facing real scrutiny for the first time.”
The author needs to expand this idea quite a bit – most all developed (and not so developed) countries all have a roll in this deception. Israel is a herring.
The agenda is global and ancient.

Makati1 the dedicated agent never fails his/her masters in IRG, he receives bonuses for BS he spread on this fishy site. The fascist regime of gay Mullahs executed 3 Iranians for their political views, certainly these will not be the last Iranians to lose their life but the end is near Tic Tic Tic…
Hell is waiting for the Supreme leader and his bastard followers.

Nazis say immigration and free trade destroys countries, but Hong Kong is rich and has open borders and no tariffs, while North Korea has closed borders and is poor.
