US blames Iran for Saudi drone attacks

Foreign Affairs Correspondent

The US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has blamed Iran for yesterday’s drone attacks on two key Saudi oilfields – calling it an unprecedented attack on the world’s energy supply.

Saudi Arabia was forced to shut down half its crude oil production –  although it says it hopes to use reserves to make up for some of the loss.

Iran has denied any involvement.
