Peace, not Iran, ought to be US target

Drone attacks on one of the world's largest oil processing plants and a major oilfield in Saudi Arabia on Saturday sparked huge fires and halted about half of the supplies from the country, sounding a warning to all countries that they beef up security in and around their oil facilities to prevent such attacks and avoid triggering a new round of blame game between the United States and Iran.

The attacks on Saudi Arabia's Abqaiq oil processing facility and Khurais oilfield disrupted the supply of about 5.7 million barrels of crude oil - more than 5 percent of the daily global supply - which Riyadh said would be offset with stockpiles.

It is not difficult to imagine the concern of the international community and the global anger against those behind the drone attacks.
