re: #138 Targetpractice

An act that would have much the same effect without hurting their own exports would be another attack on Saudi oil fields/refineries, conducted in the same fashion as last time by providing drones/cruise missiles to intermediaries who’ve a beef with the House of Saud. With oil futures already spiking in the wake of Soleimani’s death, any further disruption to oil exports could have a serious knock-on effect to the global economy.

Very true.

And as you point out, the Iranians did proof of concept testing some months ago on both Saudi oil infrastructure and on Saudi oil tankers.

Edit - cleaned up my writing so that it would actually make sense. Or maybe, at least, a bit more sense.
