ABC News: Iran fired cruise missiles in attack on Saudi oil facility: Senior US official
Iran launched nearly a dozen cruise missiles and over 20 drones from its territory in the attack on a key Saudi oil facility Saturday, a senior Trump administration official told ABC News Sunday.
It is an extraordinary charge to make, that Iran used missiles and drones to attack its neighbor and rival Saudi Arabia, as the region teeters on the edge of high tensions.
President Donald Trump warned the U.S. was "locked and loaded" to respond to the attack on Sunday, waiting for verification of who was responsible and for word from Saudi Arabia on how to proceed.

WNU Editor: Aside from U.S. officials stating that Iran is responsible for this attack, no other major news network has stated that cruise missiles were used in this attack, or that this attack was launched from Iran itself.

It's usually ABC or some other network close to the official gov position (eg this season fox but usually ABC is there always) to announce official war related news. Iranians should be worried and stop their regime. Now it does not mean war, but if the leaders of Iran do it again - and they will if not stopped - war will come. And only Russia and China will benefit. The everyday Iranian will suffer very much and this is not fair. We all know that Xi needs this diversion so Trump can hopefully be unseated if things go bad quickly - and they might. But Democrats beware - your children's future might be living under a true fascist, a true dictator if you keep hoping for your president to fail. This is the showdown China USA continued. You can bet Xi smiled yesterday. Sure oil prices go up, I get it, but they're printing money over there for years and might lose trillions (!) Just in the trade war with the US. And you can bet once the US won, Europe will ask for better terms with China..more trillion for China at risk. And on top the trillions they owe to many industrial leaders in the world for state sponsored and state coordinated industrial espionage, IP theft. And then the housing bubble which will hit them for sure early next year if they cannot change the narrative by then. Everyone waits for China to implode. Money and factories leaving. Now US citizens taken hostage if they want to leave China. No one will do business over there for a long time. So quite literally, China has to decide if they switch to fill on cold war mode and finance hot proxy wars ,including supporting Iran - which is a playbook used by Russia and the USA themselves. Imagine the amount of limited proxy wars we'd have but with China joining. You got to be kidding. And Putin's strategy is to make look Russia superbadass with doomsday weapons and what not so that the world knows "hey OK if you want China to be a superpower then we'll have 3 superpower proxy wars because I'm not letting Russia become insignificant in the warmongering/great state domain. "
This is getting dangerous and I hope Iranians call their leaders out, the Chinese call their leaders out and we call our leaders to provide proof for all their narrative, and trade war and other decisions. If we have to go to war then this time -as it might be the last time-better know what we all die for 8-)
Worrisome, if true it means War, if not it means another fake news story by the MSM. My bet, it's not true, but will wait for official report.
