Saudi Arabia: Attacks Slashes Oil Plants’ Production by Half
Daily Hunt

15 September 2019

Saudi Arabia raced on Sunday to restart operations at oil plants hit by drone attacks, which slashed its production by half, as Iran dismissed US claims it was behind the assault. But a tit-for-tat strike on Iranian oil fields is ‘highly unlikely’, said Middle East expert James Dorsey: “The Saudis do not want an open conflict with Iran. The Saudis would like others to fight that war, and the others are reluctant,” said Dorsey, from RSIS.
