Iran launched nearly a dozen cruise missiles and over 20 drones from its territory in the attack on a key Saudi oil facility Saturday, a senior Trump administration official told ABC News Sunday.

It is an extraordinary charge to make, that Iran used missiles and drones to attack its neighbor and rival Saudi Arabia, as the region teeters on the edge of high tensions.

President Donald Trump warned the U.S. was "locked and loaded" to respond to the attack on Sunday, waiting for verification of who was responsible and for word from Saudi Arabia on how to proceed.

The Trump administration, in particular Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, has blamed Iran for the attack since Saturday, but so far, there's been no public accusation that Iran launched missiles.

The Houthi rebels in neighboring Yemen claimed responsibility for the assault, which hit one of the world's largest oil processing facilities, hundreds of miles from the Yemen-Saudi border, and sharply impacted global oil supplies.

But a senior U.S. official told ABC News Saturday that was false: "It was Iran. The Houthis are claiming credit for something they did not do."

Pompeo tweeted that there was "no evidence the attacks came from Yemen."

The attack on the Saudi state-owned oil company Aramco also included more than 20 drones, the official said.

Iran has denied responsibility for the attack, accusing Pompeo of "max deceit," as the country's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif tweeted Saturday.

In a Sunday evening tweet, Trump did not share the definitive accusation against Iran, instead saying the U.S. had "reason to believe that we know the culprit ... but are waiting to hear from the Kingdom [of Saudi Arabia] as to who they believe was the cause of this attack."

Everyone that I know sees war with Iran for what it really is: another globe-trotting fiasco that would waste billions of dollars and expend thousands of innocent lives on both sides.

Another stunt in getting the US to another war on Israel's behalf. Trump is no different from Hillary and other politicians.

Bolton is gone. Chance of war with Iran went down significantly.

If Trump starts a war with Iran, I honestly want him impeached. This shit is so disappointing.

War is not up to trump, its up to the deep state.

Trump is just a figure head.

What noone ever mentions is that the Saudis are currently doing a massive bombing campaign over Yemen that has targeted the houthis with thousands of civilians being killed in the process. This attack was not unprovoked.

Since the time of teddy Roosevelt, foreign policy has been within the president’s control to a scary extent. The president can engage in bombings, small wars, and policing actions all without any congressional approval. A large war usually does require congress though due to funding issues as the president is only allowed a certain amount for contingency operations

Lol, no. Trump made it clear recently on twitter that he's more of a warhawk than bolton, and that bolton was keeping him back and etc. Trump is nothing more than a puppet to the Jews.

You'd be surprised to know that Israel controls America, not Russia as what the MSM news outlets like to claim.

His zombie followers disagree with that even though it's very true that Trump doesn't give two flying shits about America and instead cares more about letting the Jews have their way in the world. Jewish nepotism is key to their collective control over the American psyche.

the opposite is true. Bolton is the biggest warmonger, neocon in the US at this moment. He has literally called for interventions and regime change in Iran, Syria, Yemen, North Korea, Libya, Venezuela, and Cuba. He was the biggest cheerleader of the war in Iraq and still hasn't apologized for it. He was against negotiations with the Taliban, which Trump sponsored. Trump literally claimed that if it was up to Bolton we would be fighting all our enemies at the same time - Trump claimed that he was the one that tempered John Bolton not the other way around. Trump atleast pretends to be anti-war half the time; Bolton is openly a warmonger lol.

I would rather have a warmonger who is open about that fact that a liar pretending to be peaceful but does the opposite.

Guys, go watch general wesley clark video that talks about 7 countries being destroyed in 5 years. All countries have been pummleled to the ground. The final country is Iran, but it looks like the U.S is having a tough time because they keep going back and fourth with these retarded accusations.

Well considering that Iran is already on the list to be destroyed, funding for another war isnt a problem apparently.
