16/09/2019 (Agence Europe) – The spokesperson for the European External Action Service condemned on Sunday 15 September the previous day's attack by drones on two oil installations in Saudi Arabia. This “deplorable” attack, claimed by the Yemeni Houthis, supported by Iran, “poses a real threat to regional security”, she warned. And she added, “At a time when tensions in the region are running high, this attack undermines ongoing work at de-escalation and dialogue”. The spokesperson asked that the facts be clearly established and that responsibility for the attack be determined. The United States puts the responsibility at Iran’s feet. “At the same time the European Union repeats its call for maximum restraint and de-escalation”, she added. Saudi oil production is temporarily halved due to the attack. (CG)
