A clear and blatant Act of War!

[Asia Times] Events in the Arabian Peninsula have upstaged the Israeli elections, supposedly the big story of the week.

The confrontation between Iran and its allies and Saudi Arabia and its allies is on the verge of boiling over into overt warfare.

Attacking the Saudi oil infrastructure is the equivalent of attacking the heart of a living creature – it is the source of its existence as a country. It is not yet clear if the drones came from Iran’s Houthi proxies in Yemen, from Iran itself or from Iraq. What is clear is that Iran is directly or indirectly responsible for the attack, which is a clear and blatant act of war.

If the drones came from Iraq, that would be another Iranian proxy — Iran is awfully fond of coming at a problem from two sides...

Edit late afternoon:

Asked if he has promised the Saudis he will protect them: “No, I haven’t promised the Saudis that," replies @POTUS. "We have to sit down with the Saudis and work something out.”
