saudi arabia attack on a saudi arabia infrastructure there any tweeted saudi arabia oil supply was attacked there is reason to believe that we know the culprit we are locked and loaded depending on verification but are waiting to hear from the kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack and under what terms we proceed so those are some very strong words from a president trump there. you know again using this very bellicose language that we've heard him used before my pompei of the secretary of state has already said that he claims that iran is behind the attacks something iran denies pompei when the united states have failed at least to this point to private any sort of evidence that iran was behind it you'll remember that in june when he ran shot down an unmanned american drone trump claimed that the u.s. had airstrikes planned against iran but trump called them off he said 10 minutes before they were supposed to happen he said because it would have caused as in its words collateral damage would have killed at least $150.00 innocent people according to president trump at th

saudi arabia is also an aggressor in yemen the country has become the battlefield in which saudi arabia and iran wage a proxy war for regional dominance armed with weapons from the west if shown little remorse for the damage they've caused. saudi arabia has also been aggressively exporting its state religion while his and their interpretation of islam they find and schools foundations amongst them europe like here in belgium should the west bank saudi arabia. says and you've reported on the murder assassination i'm looking at this report and reporting yourself from saudi arabia what do you think is saudi arabia the kind of partner in spite of all of its strategic advantages that the west the united states europe should have definitely a difficult partnership at the same time we do need to look at where this country is going to undergoes a dramatic fundamental transformation i mean you would not believe what you see right now there is that the u.s. is definitely supporting the crown prince and even if we in the west would criticize him for a lot of things they use which are the absolute

arabia itself is a large consumer of oil production saudi arabia right now is producing $10000000.00 barrels roughly of which $4000000.00 they use at all so in a way their capacity to export is about 6000000 barrels a day if they lose 5.7 that means that does not leave them with much oil to export so in a way the saudis need to do something that will impact their budget and also impact their g.d.p. growth and their diversification program on the other hand i think that if they do offer for 4 for a television in order to change the whole thing is not to repeat the same experience without severe consequences then they have to do it to hit back and mostly that will be many civilian casualties such casualties will cause a great deal of of panic but the word like a leader like. said has yes has for about 4100000000 barrels of reserves these are these are the statistics from the international energy. agency the i.a.e.a. and accordingly and the united states has $727000000.00 barrels which belong which are for the government in saudi arabia their reserves are about bit of a range between 18

for saudi arabia to you know increase its and gauge with russian military technical sphere and also we know for sure that talks on. saudi by russian equipment including hundreds are to go in so that will definitely top the agenda among other things put in his visit to saudi arabia later this year but also want to point out that it actually. more interesting to see what is the reaction of iran because actually run here was demonstrate is a we could play because he was the only nation with 300 and turkey bought 400 and put in. so direct it to by again the more sophisticated. expert i think that's a very good marketing i mean they can always go back to russia but that will be going up the question how iran would view and perceive the situation when saudi arabia will be equipped with a better defense system than iran but if they stick in the agree with me that it was put in the very sort of joking way and as we say here in russia there is only so much joke in any joke saudi arabia spends billions on in defense this how is it possible that a drone or a dozen of drones s. claim would be a

saudi arabia now iran will say that this is an embarrassment to saudi arabia billions of hundreds of billions of dollars of arms mainly from the united states and they were unable to stop this attack but so far saudi arabia has blamed iran but hasn't been able to really point the finger and say this is where the missiles and drones were going from iran will say that the allies of this and even if it is proven that the weapons are doesn't mean iran was behind the attack iran has warned that any attack against iran by the united states will meet and meet your response and not only immediate response to said that they will not only respond to the source of the attack meaning that any countries in the region that host united states assets or bases may also be targeted. well the u.n. has sent officials to saudi arabia to investigate the attacks. james base has more from new york. it was only all monday saudi arabia the u.n. experts they move very fast but they're already on their way according to the secretary general in line with the resolution 22 so if you weren't of the security counci

assisting saudi arabia and what they say is the threat coming from iran so when you see saudi arabia oil infrastructure attack like this as the u.s. says that it was done by iran you see all of the interests of the u.s. all coming together in one place or that's where you see that such a strong statement from the secretary of state there so you're going to see this bring saudi arabia and the u.s. us closer together if there even could be such a thing are already very close for donald trump a strong backer of other crown prince in saudi arabia despite the u.s. congress being very wary about this in april it's a porter a member of congress in the u.s. said we do not want to supply any more u.s. weapons to saudi arabia that are used in the war in yemen that passed congress but it was vetoed by president donald trump in april so this is only going to draw these 2 countries closer together if that can even be such a thing and it's also going to lead to even more suspicion by those 2 countries u.s. and saudi arabia against iran so this is all bringing all the elements really of these relat

from the kingdom of saudi arabia. is. carrying out vest again the findings will prove that these weapons are iranians who had requested the united states to dispatch their own experts to take part in the current investigation is the final find x. will be announced once completed the aim is to identify the origin of the attack we are certain that the attack was not originated from yemen it originated from the not investigations will prove. so just since the whole world will be briefed and this is the attacks will be taking the united kingdom was attacked by more than $260.00 ballastic most of them more than $150.00 drones this is unacceptable and. them further up the defenses managed to intercept. the missiles and men it's also to intercept the majority of the drones our fellow soldiers. are firmly acting to preserve the safety and stability of the kingdom it's so the tories clued in god installations also the safety and well being of our nationals the international community has a huge responsibility to put an end to iran

saudi arabia but it's harder for bin cement to accept that the militia in the ruthie's attacked saudi arabia and this is why we see the us so heavily invested with the who thinks they want to show that everybody is on their side they want to convince saudis and convince the public opinion and it may be true i'm not denying it but they want to convince people that they have allies everywhere they have allies in palestine in iraq in iran in within yemen and the like it's all part of this grand p.r. campaign that they've succeeded in doing which has transformed the human conflict from an issue of a coup against a national dialogue to one in which the now of saudi arabia is much securing yemenis and the like so this is a big p.r. battle and this is why i think the who these are focusing on this particular angle sami were already saying retaliatory attacks by the saudis on he positions what kind of retaliation do you think we could see inside saudi arabia should we be expecting a crackdown especially on the shia population in eastern province. i think what's interesting is there actually r

but for saudi arabia and the u.s. any attack on the world's energy supply is a red line crossed it will not decide how to punish whoever they determine is the perpetrator chela bellus al-jazeera. more than a 1000 schools are closed across malaysia smoke from forest fires in neighboring in the major continues to get worse malaysia is using emergency cloud seeding to try to produce rain and clear the skies. time for a short break here al-jazeera when i come back dozens of people are killed in 2 bomb attacks in afghanistan including one that targeted the president's campaign rally and we look at the role the u.s. dollar is having on everything from politics to the economy in argentina more the stakes. hello autumn is marching ever wrong this is was the most active front this is the next one you see the curl of cloud quite happily each one brings slightly cold red down into central and eastern europe so by day maximum temperatures 12 in kiev 17 in vienna the war squashed down what towards remaining a greece turkey and sti

dependent on oil exports from saudi arabia and likewise saudi arabia very dependent on arms exports from the united states to saudi arabia many of those arms by the u.s. being used in the saudi led war in yemen and just in april of this year the u.s. congress growing very skeptical of the relationship between the u.s. and saudi arabia perhaps passed a bill that would limit the use of u.s. arms in the saudi led war in yemen that passed but it was vetoed by president donald trump just another sign of how close trump is or how close views saudi arabia on the crown prince as an ally there so after this latest attack now on the saudi in for oil infrastructure this is most likely only going to draw saudi arabia and the united states even closer. together. now humans through the rebels have been using drones in combat this small cheap to produce and capable of aiding radar systems the ease of use drones to disable saudi arabia's patriot missile defense systems allowing the rebels to fire ballistic missiles into the kingdom unchallenged saudi's a vast oil field and pipeline network have been a p

arabia and the people in iraq who have so many grievances against saudi arabia for their support for isis for all those years you think they're not going to push into northern sodhi rabia the americans will not be able to contain such a catastrophic situation and you will have millions upon millions of people sleeping in the region and it will make the syrian refugee crisis look like a small stream this would be like a really really complex let's go let's go to reality here we're going to require the global economy and no and the americans and their empire will collapse ok let's go to our command in riyadh i mean i'm committed and i know you're not the saudi government but what is victory how do you define victory in yemen how would you define that if it were to come to pass. who said there is victory in the m. and i said one who said there is another no i'm not going to i'm asking you what do you mean those and what would it mean to have fig tree but what would it mean to you. we just need the people of yemen and there is a government there for yemen when they reach the solution and

arabia it comes down a saudi arabia and oil and and also visa ve iran and when you see the u.s. secretary of state saying that iran is responsible for attacking oil oil infrastructure in saudi arabia key ally to the united states that is clearly a worrisome for the united states on multiple levels so a clear ramping up of the rhetoric no indication that the u.s. is taking off the table

stop these attacks now saudi arabia will be looking to u.s. secretary of state might compel who's there at the moment to to address the situation but they're looking to him to match the rhetoric of saudi arabia and its allies and those critics of iran because saudi arabia can't really respond without the united states but iran has given a warning this that that if there is an attack against iran by the united states that there would be an immediate response and it wouldn't just be against the source the media source of those attacks and that's a warning to the 2 countries across the region that may host united states bases and have u.s. assets. ok thanks. in tehran seeing as he's talking about u.s. influence there let's go to kimberly how could our next correspondent in washington i mean there's a few threads here isn't there concerning the u.s. kimberly the new sanctions on player who is now in jeddah and a new national security adviser on top of all that. yeah and i think if we sort of drill down on the appointment of a new national security

they have intel from inside saudi arabia saying that there is dissent in saudi arabia that they have been utilizing to pinpoint where they will be targeting next but what is the fact is that there drone strikes in their attacks on saudi facilities have been getting more precise they have been getting more intense and they seem to be getting the desired results that they wanted this is attacking the heart of saudi arabia's financial machine they have hit the facility which produces about $7000000.00 barrels of oil a can process so 1000000 barrels of oil a day so it would be a major blow and disruption decide the arabia's oil facility but what it also shows is the gradual transformation of this this really rudimentary force which we saw in 2015 which absolutely most people had not heard off and see it evolve into this this from a k 47 carrying men to people who are carrying out precise drone attacks which are not just difficult to repulse but they're very difficult to spot as well we've seen that in the field in the fight against eisel and in other areas when these small drones are dep

drone strikes into major only installments in saudi arabia. rebels loyal to run were quick to claim responsibility. in the u.s. trump thinks he knows the real culprit iran and they're the ones who should be put in their place we just impose the highest level of sanctions on iran central bank and sovereign wealth fund. all nations have a duty to. know responsible government should subsidise. iran bloodless. it's also a war of words between donald trump and iran's president rouhani. the enemy has chosen a path that he calls economic war but is in fact an act of economic terrorism against the nation that's our rouhani responded it's a military parade in toronto but the threat of a real and devastating war is still imminent and both sides will the persian gulf erupt. the iranian president right is america engage in economic terrorism against iran well this is what his foreign minister was also a calling economic sanctions against iran by the united states and i think i mean it's part of the iranian p.r. to you know counter that kind of move by the

pirated out of saudi arabia. thank you very much for joining us to blame game is intensifying over the attacks on saudi arabia's main oil facilities the saudi led coalition fighting in yemen says they were carried out using iranian weapons and did not originate from yemen iran denies involvement and in the past few minutes president hassan rouhani has said the attacks were a reciprocal response to the aggression in yemen need jets the us will watch as far as a drones attacks are concerned i think the question here is mainly a biased issues i would personally want to emphasize more on the security and stability of the region rather than oil but this all started from aggression in yemen why did they on a daily basis key bomb been to people in yemen yemenis are being killed they have the right to resist against this aggression. now exactly how long it will take to fix damage to the world's largest processing plant is yet to be revealed reuters news agency is reporting it could take months for saudi oil production to

arabia before but not with that magnitude not with that scope and i think for saudi arabia the important question now really be how they're protected are we actually i mean the u.s. the u.s. had delivered missile systems to saudi arabia and security umbrella so to speak but it still shows how vulnerable saudi arabia is and it's going to be difficult for the kingdom to really think about how to respond to this and we've already seen some international responses coming in the british foreign minister call the saturdays attacks a reckless attempt to damage regional security the u.s. has not ruled out striking iran's oil fields this seems like a pretty vulnerable situation what do you foresee. yeah it's extremely volatile and the problem that i personally have with the 3rd was the rhetoric like this is that it ignores what's going on in yemen since for more than 4 years now so regardless of the fact that iran supports the review process in yemen there is still a war who are in on with a saudi led coalition that is bombarding the north of the country particular and pushing back there with eas

and the saudi arabia and the u.a.e. from quote iranian aggression the u.s. defense secretary mark asprin made that announcement at a pentagon briefing. the president has approved the deployment of u.s. forces which will be defensive in nature and primarily focused on air and missile defense we will also work to accelerate the delivery of military equipment to the kingdom of saudi arabia and the u.a.e. to enhance their ability to defend themselves well this all comes after washington accused iran of bombing saudi oil infrastructure a week ago iran denies any involvement in that incident and has warned that a military strike on its territory would lead to all out war the drone and missile attacks were claimed by the shia who threw rebels in yemen which saudi arabia has been fighting for the past 4 and a half years on friday that who see said they are holding off on further strikes but are ready to act if the saudis fail to reciprocate. well for more on this now we can cross live to political analyst colin cavil who joins

say what does this mean for saudi arabia. and for the world as a saudi arabia is losing 6000000 barrels of crude oil a day to put that into context the world consumes more than 100000000 barrels so that is a large chunk saudi arabia is the biggest oil exporter in the world and we'll have to wait and see when the markets open on monday but this is likely to send ripples through the world economy. they say saudi arabia saying they will try to relieve some of that loss by using emergency emergency stocks of oil. itself oil and gas is the major part of their economy more than 50 percent of their g.d.p. 70 percent goes to export and this makes saudi arabia vulnerable and now we know that they're there diversifying or they have reforms to diversify their economy away from oil any disruption to oil production. is that puts the puts their economy in jeopardy and that's likely why these oil facilities were targets. more about who did this to who the rebels say they've done it however the american secretary of state says he thinks iran

arabia to saudi arabia its neighbors might go you know that there is a economic cost to pay. for the current policy i think you know what we've seen over the past several months is some sort of incident calm another incident calm so i would think that you know this is not the last time that we will see an attack of this nature but i would think for a moment given the iranian action and the united states reaction. to wait and see you know weeks from now you know where things go where things go next p.j. crowley thank you very much for your time and insight you're quite well well there on foreign minister has said that saudi arabia and the united arab emirates want to fight iran to the last american as comments come in response to the visit of the u.s. secretary of state to the gulf we have more now from samus ravi finally granted a visa iran's foreign minister took off for the us friday morning to attend this year's united nations general assembly already underway at its headquarters in new york as he flew so did the tweets responding to his american counterpart u.s. secretary

that drone came from north of saudi arabia and north east from saudi arabia which is not from both the size of his us base than the south of saudi arabia so. if we can relieve that so it's more coming from other side so we can believe more of the u.s. still conflicting reports about who in fact is your mind if you mentioned it already so half of the oil production of the state oil in owned oil company or. ram co has been affected but what does this tell us about how vulnerable saudi oil installations are that's not a matter of. the facilities it's more in matter of the national security so if we talk here it's like we talk about the middle east and sion and the matter of technology the drones can be like violate beasts of other countries because it's really hard to to to shoot these things because they just fly on the lower level and. it has its own say in the coming tensions are gravy and this is not the 1st time the oil facilities has been targeted in saudi arabia this year of we come back in may 2019 that happened but was very limited to damage but this one is it seems basic it does

against saudi arabia we will not take aggressive measures against saudi arabia and they should not take against us they should all support any terrorist organization unfortunately they are supporting many terrorist organizations many separatist organizations we should resolve our problems peacefully we should try to help each other in resolving regional problems we proposed to saudi arabia 6 years ago that leaders of the syrian problem peacefully we proposed to saudi arabia 6 years ago and again 4 years ago to resolve the problem in yemen politically unfortunately daily life fully on the united states and they believe they can fight their wars read iran until the last american soldier this wouldn't turn to the united states is no longer willing to go all of it at that so that brings us back to the to the issue and to the president now i think that all trump i think that could call conative rearrangement in our region would be extremely important for. bringing people to the negotiating table as soon as. people in our region realize that they cannot buy security from outside they can buy

with 10 drones with help from inside saudi arabia so they might do it again saudi arabia is stuck in this in this war for your warning in yemen which has caused many many many lives including from children and women and they should come up with a solution to this with. me this with a day to leave. for them and for everybody well we've seen a lot of international reactions coming in already britain's foreign minister says saturday's attack was a reckless attempt to damage regional security the u.s. has now threatened to strike iran's oil fields this seems like a vulnerable situation what do you foresee and can you explain a little bit what the various stakes in this proxy war are. well i hope with will north come to military strikes view it because it's was get it will get far out of control a to be everybody's control and i need is a very dangerous region very very dangerous you and did a you don't know how are the i've been stakeholders would respond and the if they day they could beat that real at tax from iran and saudi arabia all were battering because i don't think iran would wa

but a signal inside saudi arabia helping them the main issue there is one country was saudi arabia a night out of any of those will launch to a war against yemen or against the host either agree with them or not. you should expect that this group they will attack back they will retaliate they will try to defend themselves but now we see saudi is crying out loud in every corner of of the war if the word about those attacks and i just want to add one more important thing about deuces statement from a u.s. official about that iran is to blame all these drones came from iraq we should actually listen to united states where remember before the invasion of iraq colin powell and they were in security council with a small pipe have said that this pipe cannot kill everyone in the room and they have launched a war against iraq to find weapons of mass destruction they haven't found anything they destroy the entire country the same thing they want to do to yemen but i believe there are more attack coming on saudi arabia it's basically on the oil infrastructure. simon the u.s. accused iran for be
