The United States says that Iran was likely behind attacks on key Saudi Arabian oil facilities. The U.S. government released satellite photos showing at least 17 points of impact on the facilities which indicate that the strikes came from the north or northwest. These findings suggest that the attack likely originated in Iranian or Iraqi territory rather than in Yemen, where Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for the strikes. According to U.S. intelligence, the attacks involved a combination of drones and cruise missiles, which also indicates a level of military sophistication beyond that which Houthi rebels alone have shown. Iran rejected the accusations, while Iraq affirmed that Iranian operatives did not initiate the attacks from Iraqi territory.
