On September 14th 2019 Saudi Arabia experienced a devastating attack on two of their refineries in Abqaiq and Khurais oil field! This marked the largest oil disruption in global history and sent prices for crude oil shooting up. Furthermore it sent shockwaves through global financial markets .
As news of the attack spread, the global community began to wonder who had attacked Saudi Arabia? The initial assessment from the United States identified that the attack had been launched from Iran, built upon the intelligence they had gathered 🇸🇦. The United States alongside several other countries made accusations of liability at Iran, and were quick to point the finger at them.
However, it would take some time before it was confirmed that Iran was responsible for the attack 🇮🇷. Just days after the attack took place, a Houthi rebel group that is based in Yemen claimed responsibility for the attack 🇾🇪 ️. The Houthi rebels are known to have ties to Iran, but they maintained that they had launched the attack without Iranian assistance.
Regardless, it didn’t take long before the United States and the international community presented evidence pointing to Iran as the culprit of the attack 🇮🇷 🌍. The United States and other nations as the United Kingdom and France conducted investigations that revealed that Iran was behind the attack.
To support this claim the United States presented satellite images to back up their claim that the attack originated from Iran. The images showed that the attack was launched from Iranian soil indicating that the country was responsible for the attack.
This revelation placed increased pressure on Iran, and the United Nations Security Council called for an investigation into the incident. However, Iran denied the allegations, and insisted that it had no involvement in the attack.
This put immense strain on relations between Iran and the United States also increasing tensions between Tehran and Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 🔛 🇮🇷. In response to these attacks Washington also imposed new economic sanctions against Iran.
It is unclear how long these economic sanctions will be in effect and what the extent of the damage done by the attack against Saudi Arabia and the global economies 🇸🇦. The attack on Saudi Arabia September 14 2019 will be remembered as one the most important acts of aggression in recent history 🇸🇦 🔛 1️⃣.
The attack served as a stark reminder of the destabilizing influence that Iran can have in the region and the potential for Iran to cause disruption through all the world. It also serves as a warning to other countries in the region who have seen the lengths that Iran is willing to go to in order to pursue its goals. !! .
