Saudi Arabia Shows Debris, Says It Proves Attack 'Sponsored By Iran'
- By Reuters
Saudi Arabia displayed drone and missile debris that it said showed a weekend attack targeting the kingdom’s crucial oil industry was "unquestionably sponsored by Iran." On September 18, Defense Ministry spokesman Colonel Turki bin Saleh al-Malki told a news conference in Riyadh that 18 drones and seven cruise missiles struck a Saudi oil field and the world's largest crude oil-processing plant from a direction that ruled out Yemen as a source. Tehran has denied involvement in the air attack, and warned it would retaliate against any military response.
