Im nick spicer thanks for joining Us Saudi Arabia has temporarily halted Oil Production at 2 facilities after they were attacked by yemeni rebels iran back to the fighters say they used 10 drones in a strike which caused saudi arabias Oil Production to be cut in half one of the targets is the Worlds LargestOil Processing plant in cake located east of the capital riyadh blazes also broke out in the countrys 2nd Largest Oil Field in her race the fires have been brought under control and there were no injuries reported. Porter ole al soccer has been following the story for us only tell me the saudis have cut production by about a half they say what does this mean for saudi arabia and for the world. Theres a saudi arabia is losing 6000000 barrels of crude oil a day to put that into context the world consumes more than 100000000 barrels so that is a large chunk saudi arabia is the biggest oil exporter in the world and well have to wait and see when the markets open on monday but this is likely to send ripples through the world economy. They say saudi arabia saying they will try to relieve some of that loss by using emergency emergency stocks of oil. Oil and gas is the major part of their economy more than 50 percent of their g. D. P. 70 percent goes to exports and this makes saudi arabia vulnerable now we know that theyre there diversifying the oil they have reforms to diversify their economy away from oil for now any disruption to Oil Production is that puts the puts their economy in jeopardy and thats likely why these Oil Facilities were targets. Who who did this to the rebels say theyve done it however the american secretary of state says he thinks iran is behind it threats right so he says that there is no evidence that the drones came from yemen he puts the blame squarely on iran and now he called it an unprecedented attack on the Worlds Energy supply even though the u. S. Has presented no evidence for this. These attacks are likely to ramp up tensions between the u. S. And iran they have of course not been very good since president dont call the u. S. Out of Iran Nuclear Deal last year now as for the few things they say that this strike was in retaliation. For attacks and then we know that they have the capability of the u. N. Says they have drones that can. They can reach 1500. That would cover most of. They have been using in combat since the beginning of this war it started out as small and fairly crude drones but now they have they have more professional drones that look very much like the ones that iran produce produces but iran of course say they are not supplying the who says that any weapons.
