Arabia

Half of Saudi Aramco production restored

2019-09-18

One is forced to conclude that the damage was not nearly as great as originally claimed — could it be that the mighty Iranian proxies are not nearly as effective as believed?

"The damage has been contained and [Saudi Aramco] restored more than half of the output, which was cut as a result of this terrorist attack," says Saudi Arabia's Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman.

#2 The Saudis should already possess enough weaponry to hit some of Iran's choice targets.

I think the problem is that the Saudis don't seem to have the defensive capabilities that they should. They protected themselves from dozens of strikes from Yemen but were caught by whatever hit them last Saturday. The Saudis will also want to get Russian and China to back them in the Security Counsel before they hit Iran but that will be dicey as Russia will want to be bribed and who knows what mood Xi will be in on this issue.

#1 I wonder if Iranians will hit them again once 80% (or so) is restored?
