Yemeni Houthi armed forces today purportedly struck facilities of Saudi oil giant Aramco in the southwestern part of Saudi Arabia as well as the airport of Abha in the kingdom, Iranian Fars News reports. The attacks—the second such reported incident in a week--according to Iranian media reports citing Yemeni sources, came in retaliation for Saudi air strikes targeting civilians in Yemen.
The attack that prompted the retaliatory move took place on Friday, when Saudi fighters, according to Iranian media, targeted residential areas in the district of Baqim, in the northwestern Sa’ada province. The attack resulted in 11 casualties and came after another one on Thursday, which again had a civilian target: a bazaar in the same district. Seven were killed in that attack, and 10 others were injured.

They have been using Iranian scuds to target oil facilities. Iran is fighting WWIII by proxy here. This may not end well because oil is the life blood of the Saudis and the world by extensions
No problem. We no longer need Saudi oil, right?
This give Me the excuse I need to level Qom.

Yeah, further, oil refineries are pretty touchy and generally don’t take well to attacks with explosives. It’s hard enough to keep them from blowing up without any help.
