Iran Crisis - 2019: the spice must flow

"US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blamed Iran, saying it "has now launched an unprecedented attack on the world's energy supply". "There is no evidence the attacks came from Yemen," Pompeo said, referring to the Houthis' claim of responsibility. He did not provide any evidence to support his claim.

Iran dismissed accusations by the United States that Tehran was behind drone attacks that set ablaze two major Saudi Aramco oil installations, as Saudi Arabia raced to restore operations at the damaged facilities. Iran's foreign ministry on Sunday called the US allegations "meaningless" and said they were meant to justify actions against Iran. "Such remarks ... are more like plotting by intelligence and secret organisations to damage the reputation of a country and create a framework for future actions," spokesman Abbas Mousavi said.

"Having failed at 'max pressure', US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo turning to 'max deceit'," Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif wrote. "US and its clients are stuck in Yemen because of illusion that weapon superiority will lead to military victory," he added, calling for talks to end the war in the Arab world's most impoverished country.

A commander with Iran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said that US bases and aircraft carriers around Iran were within range of the country's missiles. "Everybody should know that all American bases and their aircraft carriers in a distance of up to 2,000 kilometres (1,243 miles) around Iran are within the range of our missiles," Amirali Hajizadeh was quoted as saying by the semi-official Tasnim news agency."Iran has always been ready for a "full-fledged" war", he added, without mentioning the attacks in Saudi Arabia."

Why on Earth Would the US Go to War with Iran over an Attack on Saudi Oil Refineries?

"Furthermore, the US has no mutual assistance treaty with Saudi Arabia — no obligation to defend the autocratic Islamic kingdom or even to come to its aid. True, the US sells a lot of weapons and weapons systems to the Saudis, including for its brutal and genocidal war on its impoverished neighbor to the south, Yemen, whose Houti leaders are claiming to have been the authors of the recent drone attack on Saudi refineries. But if anything, those US weapons sales have simply exacerbated instability in the region by encouraging the intensification of the Saudi-Yemeni war. It would be the height of irony if those weapons sales, by provoking a Houti reaction, led to the US becoming embroiled in yet another endless war with another Middle Eastern country, this time Iran, a country twice the size of Iraq, and with a far better equipped and motivated military, and which backs the Houtis in Yemen."

Saudi Arabia: Iran’s role in oil facility attacks is ‘undeniable’

“The attack was launched from the north and unquestionably sponsored by Iran,” he told a news conference in the capital, Riyadh, without saying specifically where it originated, according to Reuters. “We are working to know the exact launch point.”

Billions spent on U.S. weapons didn’t protect Saudi Arabia’s most critical oil sites from a crippling attack

"The operation appeared to circumvent the defenses of Saudi Arabia’s military, including the six battalions of Patriot missile defense systems produced by U.S. defense contractor Raytheon — each of which can cost in the region of $1 billion.

Russian President Vladimir Putin responded to Saturday’s attack with mockery. At an event Monday in Turkey, Putin suggested that Saudi Arabia buy the Russian-made S-300 or S-400 missile defense system, as Iran and Turkey had done. “They will reliably protect all infrastructure objects of Saudi Arabia,” Putin said.   Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, also in attendance at the event, was seen grinning at the remarks."

In defeat, Netanyahu looks to Iran and Trump for salvation

"Netanyahu’s plan is “to enter talks in order to form a strong Zionist government and to prevent a dangerous anti-Zionist government.” In other words, the political landscape may have changed Tuesday night, but Netanyahu is sticking to his principles. The left wants to form “a government that relies on anti-Zionist Arab parties. Parties that deny the very existence of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. Parties that glorify bloodthirsty terrorists who murder our soldiers, citizens and children.” This must be prevented, he said.

And the other reason for sticking with him is that “Israel is at a historical point.” Yes, the very same “historical opportunity” that he said is within Israel’s grasp at his hasty statement last week when he promised to annex the Jordan Valley. But Netanyahu has stopped talking about annexation. Instead, history now calls to face “the existential threat to Israel from Iran and its malignant cells.” And of course there is “my friend, President [Donald] Trump,” whose “plan of the century will be presented soon.”

Bonus coverage!: Rep. Tulsi Gabbard - "President Trump is making our country Saudi Arabia’s b*tch" 

Phil Panaritis— Trump is betraying our troops. With just one tweet he offered to place our military - my brothers in sisters in uniform - under the command of Prince Mohammad Bin Salman, the dictator of Saudi Arabia. He tweeted: “We are locked and loaded … but are waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!” Trump’s actions are a gross betrayal of my brothers and sisters in uniform, the American people, and our Constitution. We are not Trump’s prostitutes, and we will not be pimped out to war for the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. Watch this video and donate to help me restore a soldier’s values to the White House. Make no mistake: President Trump is making our country Saudi Arabia’s b*tch — this is not “America First.” His willingness to pimp out our military to the highest foreign bidder is a betrayal of my proud brothers and sisters in uniform. Servicemen and women who are ready to put our lives on the line for our country—not for the Islamist dictator of Saudi Arabia. President Trump has shown time and time again that he is unfit to serve as our Commander in Chief. Our country, my brothers and sisters in uniform, our children - we deserve a Commander in Chief who will protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. Who will honor our service members and put the wellbeing of our people and our country above all else."
