This all relies on the fact it was Iran which performed the attack.

However, the attack was performed as an super precision guided attack on some empty tanks with no consequences what so ever. No critical infrastructure were attacked. Some of the pictures indicated rediculas centimeter accuracy. All this by a country which have their own refineries.

The refinery was up and running within days of the attack.

The whole thing was suspective as hell.

Per Center for Strategic and International Studies:

This weekend’s attack on Saudi oil facilities in Khurais and Abqaiq represents the single largest daily oil supply disruption in history—larger than the maximum daily output loss resulting from the Iranian Revolution, the invasion of Iraq, the Venezuelan oil strike of 2002-2003, or any of the Gulf coast hurricanes and almost twice as large as the combined outages produced by U.S. sanctions on Venezuela and Iran. The attacks targeted two critical Saudi facilities: one of the nation’s largest producing fields, Khurais, and the crown jewel of the Saudi oil system, the massive stabilization and processing facility at Abqaiq. The total supply loss from taking these facilities offline amounted to some 5.7 million barrels per day (b/d) in oil output—more than half of Saudi Arabia’s recent output and about 6 percent of global supply—as well as 2 billion cubic feet per day of associated gas.

About the fact that whether if this was Iranians or Houthis, there's zero doubt about its Iranian origin as IRGC-affiliated telegram channels posted hints about the facilities and the fact that they maybe in danger weeks before the attack and they duly celebrated just minutes after the attack; but these are Farsi "unofficial channels" so they are not cited as sources. It was so obvious that the Houthis didn't do it that even U.N. investigators concluded that the attacks came from the north not the south.

Guardian reported:

Saudi Arabia has ramped up the pressure on Donald Trump to respond to a devastating strike on two major oil installations, displaying drone and missile technology it insisted showed the attack was “unquestionably sponsored by Iran”.

At a press conference in Riyadh a Saudi defence spokesman claimed that 25 drones and cruise missiles were used in the attack on the Aramco facilities on Saturday, saying repeatedly they had been fired from the north, the direction of Iran.


Asked for his response, Trump said “We know very much what happened” but argued that it was “a sign of strength” that he has thus far taken no military action against Iran.

“How did going into Iraq work out?” Trump asked, then added: “There’s plenty of time to do some dastardly things. It’s very easy to start. And we’ll see what happens.”

There were many reports like this at the time showing Saudi frustration at a lack of U.S. response. MBS explicitly mentioned monarchy's expectations from U.S. in a live interview that I was watching, but I can't find a video of it.

International condemnation over Turkish Cypriot aggression against UN forces in 'dead zone' - Neos Kosmos

According to the UN Turkish-Cypriot forces attacked members of the Peacekeeping Force in the village of Pyla in the Dead Zone – The "blue helmets" attacked our road construction personnel, the pseudo-state responds, with the support of Turkish officials.

neoskosmos.com

Turkish Cypriots just showed us once again how useless the UN is.

Turkish Cypriots with their bulldozers moved UN cars like it was nothing.

I know Greeks like to spin fairy tales. But UN forces were in their way they got warned numerous times to move over and they did not listen.

Guterres condemns assault against UN peacekeepers in Cyprus​

The UN chief has condemned an assault on Friday by Turkish Cypriot security forces against ‘blue helmets’ serving with the peacekeeping force on the divided Mediterranean island.

Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said in a statement issued on behalf of Secretary-General António Guterres that several members of the UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) had been injured while UN vehicles had also been damaged inside the buffer zone that divides the Turkish Cypriot north and Greek Cypriot south.

​

Security Council mandate​

Mr. Dujarric said the peacekeepers had been preventing unauthorized construction work in the Pyla/Pile area, “in accordance with their mandate” provided by the UN Security Council.
According to news reports, Turkish Cypriot bulldozers moved in to clear UN vehicles, bollards and barbed wires placed in the buffer zone, and three UNFICYP personnel required hospital treatment following the assault, including one who had been kicked to the ground.
UNFICYP also condemned the attack saying in a statement that threats to the safety of UN peacekeepers and damage to UN property were “unacceptable and constitute a serious crime under international law, which will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”

The Secretary-General urged the Turkish Cypriot side “to respect the authority of UNFICYP as mandated by the Security Council and to withdraw all personnel and machinery from the UN buffer zone immediately.

​

‘Constructively re-engage’​

He also called on the Turkish Cypriot side “to constructively re-engage with UNFICYP to find a mutually agreeable way forward in the Pyla/Pile area.”
The tensions result from a plan by Turkish Cypriot authorities to build a new road which includes an area under UN control, according to news reports.
Since a de facto ceasefire between the two sides on the island in August 1974, UNFICYP has supervised ceasefire lines provide humanitarian assistance and maintained the buffer zone between Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot forces.
The Secretary-General also reiterated his “long-standing call on the parties to refrain from taking any unilateral actions that may raise tensions and compromise finding a mutually acceptable way forward.”

They were building a road.

The un soldiers were blocking the way. Then Bulldozers came pushed them aside.

Yes, but they tried to build the road in Buffer zone. Which Apperantly they are not supposed to do.

They got in the way. The road would grant Turkish Cypriots direct access to Pyla, circumventing a checkpoint at the northern border of a British military base.

The Greeks were allowed to build roads, schools and even a university in the buffer zone (in the exact same area). Why can’t the Turkish Cypriots?

Let me answer you. Greek Cypriots pay 50% of the UN missions cost. Hence, the UN forces are nothing but the Greek’s puppet

Useless peacekeepers.

Seeing the bulldozers damage those un cars gave me a smile.

Lets not forget what those un peace keepers did in Bosnia and Haiti.

Un has always been useless and hypocritical along with complicit in genocide.

If a war happens in cyprus again those un peacekeepers would surrender and handover Turkish Cypriots to the Greeks.

Some regions in Turkish cyprus that are isolated thanks to the buffer zone and the UN never allowed any kind of roads or infanstructure to be built.

This happened on tc territory, not in the buffer zone.

Anyway fuck the un. They don't keep the peace, they keep the status quo. That sat and watched us lose our homes, lands, rights and lives. My parents have stories about these UN murderers and looters when they were surviving the ethnic cleanse. Greek militias, eoka etc weren't the only threats to the existence of Turkish Cypriots, the un happily had a hand in it.

As far as the UN is concerned its a western created entity whose roots can be traced back the various powerful banking dynasties of western Europe. Its an imperial kaffirs institution to maintain a world order that benefits the western dominated world.

Its world government via the backdoor.

And yes F'k the UN peacekeepers, they have never brought peace to Muslims.

And yes F'k the UN peacekeepers, they have never brought peace to Muslims.

I remember one time I sat with group of Lebanese and Palestinians who lived in Beirut, all of them kept telling me stories about them , not just corrupted but homosexuals who kept asking locals for sexual acts ( UN personal getting fucked ) in exchange of money or migration card.

yah see this

The UN force is as far as I know 50% paid for from the Southern Cypriot government. So they do call the shots more than we do.

Just like Bosnia where UN soldiers handed over Bosniaks to the Serbs.

I hope the UN burns to the ground.

The UN is actual hot garbage. There's no reforming it like Erdogan suggests. Burn it in the holy hellfire.

Under the guise of "human rights" and "anti-discriminatory action", they actually promote and encourage;

• Pedophilia
• Child sexual trafficking
• "comprehensive abortion care"
• Mutilating children under the guise of "gender confirming care"
• Purposeful spreading of HIV/AIDS
• Substance abuse, including by children AND pregnant women.

And so many more that which I might have missed reading this document, which has been published on the March 8th, no less:
