Close. Twitter welcome to the program. Western nations have condemned an attack on saudi arabias Oil Infrastructure they ratcheted up the rhetoric after drone attacks on the kingdoms the largest oil plants slashed world the worlds daily supply of oil by 5 percent while hooty rebels from yemen have claimed responsibility the u. S. Has blamed iran for the attack raising tensions yet again in washington and tehran. One of the globes most crucial commodities going up in smoke the result of twin drone strikes at the heart of saudi arabias oil industry state media say the fires that erupted after saturdays attacks were quickly brought under control but Officials Say that production at the apple cake Oil Processing facility the largest in the world and the cories oil field the countrys 2nd biggest has been temporarily suspended there are fears of how this might affect World Markets with saudi arabia responsible for about a 10th of the worlds oil output these strikes have effectively cut 5 percent of Global Supply overnight for over 4 years now riyadh has been involved in a proxy war with iran in yemen the countrys who the rebels who are backed by tehran have claimed responsibility for these attacks and found more. Promise the saudi regime that are coming operations will only grow wider and will be more painful than before so long as their aggression and blockade continues oh Good Washington is pointing the finger at iran u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei o said on twitter that there was no evidence the attacks had come from yemen is a rainy and counterpart tweeted back dismissing u. S. Claims that tehran was involved in strikes details about the weapons used and the damage caused remain sketchy for more on this lets bring in atlanta about have i am middle east analyst best of our. Thank you so much for joining us quote the rebels in yemen have claimed responsibility for these attacks that the u. S. Is accusing iran of being behind these drone strikes tehran is denying its involved why is the u. S. Accusing iran of this. Well that in fact it suits politically i guess its a its expedient to believe iran for this with the maximum pressure complain that the u. S. Is driving against iran with this with the allegation at its core that irans destabilizing the region and that you has ally has been attacked so it really has been attacked so all this rhetoric from washington is not really surprising. What the rebels have threatened more attacks to come how do you think saudi arabia is going to respond to this. This is great to be interesting to see because the there have been attacks on infrastructure in times saudi arabia before but not with that magnitude not with that scope and i think for saudi arabia the important question now really be how theyre protected are we actually i mean the u. S. The u. S. Had delivered Missile Systems to saudi arabia and security umbrella so to speak but it still shows how vulnerable saudi arabia is and its going to be difficult for the kingdom to really think about how to respond to this and weve already seen some International Responses coming in the British Foreign minister call the saturdays attacks a reckless attempt to damage Regional Security the u. S. Has not ruled out striking irans oil fields this seems like a pretty vulnerable situation what do you foresee. Yeah its extremely volatile and the problem that i personally have with the 3rd was the rhetoric like this is that it ignores whats going on in yemen since for more than 4 years now so regardless of the fact that iran supports the review process in yemen there is still a war who are in on with a Saudi Led Coalition that is bombarding the north of the country particular and pushing back there with ease so a reaction from the with these. Was had to be expected in that form remains to be very volatile and i think its important that the European Countries including germany clued in Great Britain and france obviously condemned these attacks and called for caution otherwise this can explode into further escalation middle east analysts and then talk about to buy into said our force thank you so much pleasure.
