Yemeni Houthis launched rocket attacks on a large oil storage and gas processing facility in Saudi Arabia

Oil prices, which began to fall the day before, returned to growth today, exceeding $120 per barrel in futures for May. This situation manifests itself against the backdrop of news of a missile attack on the territory of Saudi Arabia by the Yemeni Houthis.

According to recent reports, Yemeni rebels, who are called the Houthis, attacked the fuel storage of the Saudi company Saudi Aramco. This is a company that is the largest oil exporter in Saudi Arabia and one of the largest in the world.

The Saudi Aramco fuel terminal was located near the Red Sea coast in the city of Jizan. It is through it that one of the main outgoing traffic of Saudi oil to the world market passes.

The second missile attack hit a gas processing facility in the city of Yanbu el-Bahr. In this city, several oil and gas pipelines converge at once. It is also the location of a large military base. And it is also located on the shores of the Red Sea, but unlike Jizan - at a distance of about 1000 kilometers from the Yemeni border. This accordingly actualizes the question of what kind of missiles could the Houthis use to strike at such a distance? Or the attack was carried out from the sea, but then on what ship could the Hussites cover an impressive distance by sea? The question is being discussed in the Saudi media whether they were really the Houthis.

In any case, both of these attacks affected the prices of both oil and gas on the world market. Moreover, there is still no data on the damage that was caused to the mentioned objects in Saudi Arabia. The footage shows a plume of black smoke over the Jizan facility, extending for miles.

They do not have rubles, but I know a place where these rubles will be exchanged for them. For gold or oil.

you still greatly underestimate OUR ev "gays))) with a good gesheft, the currency does not matter))) ps and if without humor, many underestimate Israel. In vain in my opinion. And judging by the situation, in the opinion of GDP, too .

Something is happening with oil supplies. Somewhere Biden has seriously sinned, even dreams are in question, not to mention the implementation of ideas to increase production. Here, at least exaggerate, logistics is collapsing before our eyes.

ABOUT! Went topic "throw fishing rods about the Jews." Recently, I began to notice about the love of the Jews for "such artificial fishing."
How are you personally? "God, God," can you afford to write? Or just bored and trying to give momentum in the "right direction"?

[kirosi]

and by the way, I would advise the Saudis to take a closer look at the fact that this is the work of Israel or the United States. the first - sleeps and sees how to pit Iran against the Arabs. And the United States, well, really wants to bend the Saudis to actions against Russia. And the attack, a kind of stick, with which the obstinate are sent into the suffocating American embrace.

They were already going to sell oil to China for yuan, and it was the United States that flew into the negotiations between Saudi Arabia and China on the sale of oil for yuan.
And we have old scores for the Saudis, no matter how it all turns out on a permanent basis

Don't give away this place. We will earn more on the export of expensive oil than on air defense systems))

Well, this is how to say, when I see how dots fall on the Donbass, I have a question, where are our air defenses that were previously praised.

[Tosha]

I read it, yesterday they wrote here that - this point is difficult to detect and you need to hit it earlier so that it is knocked down, the wreckage does not fall - that's how it is on that large landing craft. Some Buki should be used.

For the sake of interest, go to the website of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation there is a table posted today, the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in terms of equipment (how many were before the start of the special operation and how many are left), some questions will be removed, but others will appear, think analyze - otherwise every strategist is off the couch.

[Thrifty]

Excuse me, but the Yemeni rebels are called Houthis, because this people is called that!!!

Now it becomes clear who gives instructions to the Yemeni Hasidim, Western ears stick out, you can’t hide it.

There is no stability in the world. The oil yuan is on fire.

The Saudis executed 81 convicted terrorist rebels that week, including a dozen Houthis, and that's the answer.

It feels like someone's plan...

what is this plan...

Okay, pure coincidence... As I wrote in the post below, everyone has their own force majeure: some have a weather cycle, others have an "arrival".
Everything is fine, the price tag is still on the way to its peak - as they say, the road will be mastered by the walking one.

[Retvizan1974]

Don't burn down the office! After all, this is not just "someone's plan", it is a very real "someone's cunning plan, multi-way"! ..
Some kind of "Yemeni rebels, who are called the Houthis" will be completely awarded our medals! ..

[Charik]

now another word is in vogue:special operation

[Paranoid50]

The question is being discussed in the Saudi media whether they were really the Houthis.

Hmm, you know...
That's the thing just now in Novorossiysk: everything is transparent, everything is clear - Bora, the season, it's pounding ...

[Fisherman]

So it was like yesterday? Notably slapped, right in the "bull's eye".

[Tosha]

There is no stability in the world. The oil yuan is on fire.

They are Houthis in the north of Yemen, on the border with Medina, Mecca, they are all fighting with the south. There, this confrontation has been going on for centuries.

Well, what can I say? It happens. How are gas prices there? Didn't react? Look you. They reacted. Someone skillfully fills the price.

[Sergey Ershooff]

Great news. A couple more of these attacks, and oil will skyrocket (I'm talking about prices). And this means that the wallets of ordinary people will become heavier.

[Tosha]

Well, they can only believe in this mess in Ukraine, because there in the information space about the war almost everything is a lie. One more, one less - and so it goes.
And 40 shot down litaks by the "Kyiev's fighter", and a maternity hospital in Mariupol, and dozens of liquidated DRGs in Kyiv - they just don't come up with anything to maintain morale.

I believe that the Russian Federation needs to support the Yemeni Hussites in every possible way, at least until the Saudis buy air defense systems from us.

It is not a fact that the sale of air defense systems will be more profitable than the growth of oil prices.

And it was like this, a call: ,, Guys, we need to raise fuel prices in Europe and America in Europe, vrezhte something on the fuel canister. Next month we will give you more food and cartridges of various calibers, "and then another call: ,, Well, why haven't you decided to buy S-400 from us? Well, think, think, good luck"

[Grancer81]

Petrov and Bashirov are back in business....

[Sergiys_Prime]

Yemeni rebels, known as the Houthis, have attacked a Saudi Aramco fuel storage facility some 1000 kilometers from the Yemeni border.
The question is being discussed in the Saudi media whether it was really the Houthis ... ???

Economist Gal Luft, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, I quote: "The oil market and, more broadly, the entire global commodity market is insurance for the status of the dollar as the world's reserve currency ... If you take this brick out of the wall, the wall will begin to crumble." What is the wall? US economy.

The petrodollar is one of the keys to the wealth of the United States. For almost half a century, Saudi Arabia traded oil exclusively in US dollars. And this is one of the main reasons that the United States has the highest standard of living among all large states, although the manufacturing sector has long collapsed. Petrodollars allow the US to pay for health care, pensions, the armed forces ... Yes, almost everything!

Good question, can the US afford to break all this?

Saudi Arabia wants to sell oil to China in yuan, The Wall Street Journal reports, citing sources.
It is noted that this has been discussed for about six years, but the dialogue intensified in 2022, as Riyadh is dissatisfied with Washington's security commitments.
The newspaper also clarified that China buys more than 25 percent of the oil exported by Saudi Arabia.

Earlier it was reported that Russia and India are exploring the possibility of switching to settlements in rubles and rupees with the involvement of the Chinese yuan as the base currency.

The Houthis did it, it’s definitely the Houthis, no options ...

[sergei.ossipov]

What, again Petrov and Bashirov spiers .. well, in the sense of the tower looked?

[Cowbra]

I'm laughing. This once again burned the Arab-American ARAMCO, which is covered on all sides by the latest Patriots and from the sea forever by destroyers with an impenetrable Aegis?))) And from the air - by the latest super-duper budget fighters, also American-made. Only "this crap doesn't work at all"! - back to the Future
And they ask. why India buys S-400. Because your Patriots are only good for cutting the budget

[sergei.ossipov]

Well, how many Houthis Arabians massacred .. so I don’t sympathize.
