The world super power, the United states of America have failed to protect its puppet state, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, haven't received payment in full measures with extra to be in charge of Saudi security and defence system. However, the Kingdom and the ruling house alongside their watchdog and master, the USA were disgraced and humiliated haven failed to defend or foil the Saturday's twin attack on world largest oil processing plant and Saudi second largest plant both owned by Arabian America Co. (ARAMCO) among several other attacks in recent weeks.
Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed the drone attacks on the world's largest oil processing facility and a major oil field on Saturday, sparking huge fires and halting about half of the supplies from the world's largest exporter of oil.
The pre-dawn drone attack on the Saudi Aramco facilities sparked several fires. The blasts took place at 3:31am and 3:42 am at the two locations, both in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, causing fires that were brought under control by emergency services.
The attacks were the latest of many drone assaults on the kingdom's oil infrastructure in recent weeks, but easily the most damaging. They raise concerns about the global oil supply and likely will further increase tensions across the Gulf amid an escalating crisis between the U.S. and Iran over its unraveling nuclear deal with world powers.
The Minister of energy, Prince Abdulaziz Bin Salman said as a result of the terrorist acts, oil production in Abqaiq and Khurais was knocked out temporarily and that estimates show that 50 percent of the company’s production had been interrupted.
The incident could undermine investor confidence in Aramco's looming stock market debut, a mammoth listing that the government hopes will raise up to $100 billion based on a $2 trillion valuation of the company.
US, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo disbelieved Houti repels could master mind such an attack, thus; He took to tweeted stating that; "There is no evidence the attacks came from Yemen." Adding "Iran has now launched an unprecedented attack on the world's energy supply".
While, President Donald Trump took to the phone, he called Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to offer his support for the kingdom's defense, the White House said. The crown prince assured Trump that Saudi Arabia is "willing and able to confront and deal with this terrorist aggression," according to a news release from the Saudi Embassy in Washington.
Fellow Gulf OPEC producers the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait voiced support for any measures by Saudi Arabia to safeguard its security. While, in response to a Saudi request, President Macron confirmed to the crown prince that France will send experts to Saudi Arabia to take part in investigations aimed at revealing the origin and modalities of the attacks. As Saudi defence ministry issues statements that 25 drones and a cruise missile were used in the attack and the drones that were responsible for the terror attack on the oil facilities had an advanced positioning system.
It high time the Saudi ruling house adopted the Justice system of Islām and enjoy the life of piety, if they really want peace and prosperity as enjoyed during the reign of Umar bin AbdulAziz the 8th Umayyad caliph.
