Pompeo: Attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure an ‘act of war’

JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia — US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo described strikes on key Saudi oil installations as an “act of war,” reiterating that it was an “Iranian attack.”

“This was an Iranian attack,” he tells reporters on his plane before landing in the western city of Jeddah, calling it “an act of war.”

He adds there was no evidence the attacks had been launched from Iraq, amid media speculation the drones had been fired from there.
