Brett McGurk: Iran Is '100 Percent' Responsible For Saudi Attack | MTP Daily | MSNBC
Listen, if Saudi Arabia wants to use this attack as an excuse to ethnically cleanse Yemen so that’s it is full of Sunni rather than Shia, and if the USA wants to be part of all that due to the price of petrol and Gross Capitalism, then by all means. BUT don’t forget who lost the moral war last time that happened….
Being Sunni or Shia is not an ethnicity. You are an ignorant, morally bankrupt piece of trash. Everyday American.
Multi-month???!!! Holy F@#$@#%. Has the USA not learned anything about war in the middle east???
Well 240 months is “multi-month”.
Trump is looking for intres for his Money not The U S A. Open your Eyes America. May God help all us All
100% like Iraq had weapons of mass destruction….no we all cannot stipulate. Show the proof…but we know you have none. Lies to go into another war on behalf of the Saud terrorist kingdom. Saud’s were responsible for 9/11 and the GOP are looking the other way as they take the saud blood money. Well american citizens, how does it feel that your government is siding with the people that killed how many thousands of you.
Todestanz : It’s nuts anyway. Think of how many countries WE sell weapons to? And, we want to, “blame,” Iran IF they sold or gave Yemen the weapons? They launched from Southern Iraq and the Yemenis are AT WAR with the Saudis. It’s just Trump WANTING a war . . . Smh
It is crap,just like attacking other’s economies
Waiting on verification from the kingdom -_-
It was an inside job…it benefits all the usual benefactors!
Iranian economy is crashing, oil prices are all time lowest. Iran’s only export is the oi.l
@Joel P It may be true that Iran s economy is suffering from the sanctions imposed on them but a 20 % spike in oil prices isn’t much relief if they can’t sell their oil and it certainly wouldn’t be worthwhile risking an attack on its country. The oil spike does however benefit the Saudis a lot more and if they stuck it to the short sellers in the process all the better for them. Going into winter prices were probably headed lower.
I think Saudi’s could have done this to there self’s so US would start a war with Iran!
I hope the US do attack Iran.., because Iran will nuke Israel.
The missiles were launched from an American submarine, hiding in the Persian Gulf.

U think??!!!
For sure, Saudis did an inside job and a false flag….
All of those American high tech radars didn’t show any signs of drones or missiles because there were NO drones or missiles…
Our patriot systems in saudi arabia didn’t trigger because there were NO drones or missiles….
Bin Salman announced few month ago that he can pay the huge saudi debts IF oil price reaches 85 dollar….
THOSE REASONS PROVING THAT IT WAS AN INSIDE JOB AND A FALSE FLAG
Andy
That was a good one
Sounds like a win-win for Saudi Arabia oil prices go up, update tanks, US bombs Iran!
The biggest winner is the petroleum industry.

Few month ago, bin salman announced that if the oil price wouldn’t reach 85 dollar then he won’t be able to pay the saudis huge debts
The reason why they don’t want to do anything because Iran in that region is a superpower Saudi Arabia UAE can’t fight with Iran. if they start a war they will lose pretty quickly, and they know that. the only way they can win any type of war with Iran it’s to have the support of United States and Europeans Ally. It will be a bloodbath even for United States with all our allies and everybody knows that. because Iran today have shown that they have enough technology to even strike all our assets in that region. More importantly they have tons of proxies all over the Middle East. it will be another Afghanistan, at some point the president need to put his ego aside and Lead. Sometimes leaders have to make tough decisions. It’s good to be right but when you are wrong you have to be mature enough and admit it. this maximum pressure strategy is not working, in fact it’s having the opposite effect.
How do we know it wasnt some 400lb guy on his laptop in his mom’s basement? I thought Trump said that we cant trust our intelligence agencies, that they need to go back to school… Trump and team have zero credibility.
The media is fooling no one with this nonsense.
Hahaha
Donorrhea had Eric Prince orchestrate this so he can invade Iran as elections draw near.
This Brett is a Trump sympathiser, he has not yet questioned why the Saudis haven’t been able to deal with their OWN national security.
Going into war with Iran over Saudi Arabia will be folly…
saddist1Gtown
All of them are same… All medias owned by warmongering vampires included fox news, cnn, nbc, cbs, abc and especially msnbc…..because The owner of msnbc has Supplied 70% of weapons in middle east wars
This man is 100% a professional liar.
Yup.
James R
High possibly he still getting pocket money from saudis
This guy is clueless on what happened.
Bolton resigned, Saudi were being criticized, World leaders were talking about a new deal with Iran.
Who gains the most from these attacks long term? Not Iran, obviously.
Any invented reason to attack Iran. We all know the cabal want to destroy Iran to set up their reserve bank there, and N.Korea will be next. We all know their evil agenda.
How 100% that no proof is showed?
If materials were partly manufactured in Iran but weapons used by Yemenis, it doesn’t make Iran 100% responsible.
Iran was about to meet with Trump at UN. Why would they do this at this time? False flag….this was inside job to prevent peace between Trump and Iranians.
This man needs to get a life! US sells weapons all over the world, do people attack us when our signature shows up? I am a lay person, prove it! You won’t be taking my son!
Trump wants a war to get re-elected just like Bush Jr. pushed for more war to get re-elected. Saudi Arabia can fight its own war.
7 countries in 5 years for Greater Israel, since the 9/11 Inside Job, and $22 TRILLION gone MIA.
