RFE: Bahrain Says Pipeline Fire Caused By Iran-Backed Militants
Bahrain says an oil pipeline that exploded overnight was attacked by militants linked to its arch-foe Iran.
Bahrain’s Interior Ministry said in a statement on November 11 that the incident was a “dangerous act of terrorism.”
"Terrorist acts witnessed by the country in the recent period are carried out through direct contacts and instructions from Iran," the statement said.
No group has claimed the attack. There was no immediate comment from Tehran.
The explosion and fire hit near the village of Buri late on November 10, damaging nearby buildings.
Bahrain relies on the Abu Safa field for much of its oil, pumped in via a 230,000 barrel-per-day pipeline.

No comment from Iran, strange. Usually they strongly deny any link with it.
This is the signs of pressure building up to attack Iran.
Blow them up so the price of oil goes up. I need a pay rise
We better have a plan b for our exposed outposts throughout region ie northern iraq, north of tiber in syria and kuwait.
Hans,
There's no possibility of an attack on Iran. There's simply no appetite for it in America, America's "allies" in the region are to weak and divided to be of any useful assistance, and the US military is spread to thin, to worn down, and to depleted to be able to confront Iran.
An attack by Iran on America or on one or more of America's "allies" is very likely. Another possibility is an Iranian "false flag" operation whereby America is blamed and Iran uses this as the pretext to launch military operations.
