I'd rather see the Saudis conduct an attack on Iran, rather than us, if one is necessary. Isnt that the reason we've been selling them all those weapons for decades? Just because we can do it better doesnt mean we have to be the ones to do it. It's time we stop being the hired military help for the Saudis.

I know this is a big what if - but what if it wasn't Iran. What if Israel did it just to put some heat on Iran.
In 1984 a Mossad agent admitted that Mossad planted a radio transmitter in Gaddaffi’s compound in Tripoli, Libya which broadcast fake terrorist trasmissions recorded by Mossad, in order to frame Gaddaffi as a terrorist supporter. Ronald Reagan bombed Libya immediately thereafter.
It wouldn't surprise me if they did in knowing how Trump responded to the chemical attacks in Syria. Trump has demonstrated that he's capable of ordering aggressive retaliatory responses.
I'm sure Israel would be fine with a full on Saudi and Iran war.

According to our intelligence it looks as if the cruise missiles were launched from pro-Iranian Iraqi forces. Its well know that Iran has transferred ballistic missiles to Shi’ite proxies in Iraq - in particular the Fateh-110, Zolfaqar and Zelzal types, which have ranges of 200-700 km.
What else that has been going on in the region is Israel has been attacking sites in Iraq in an effort to thwart Iran's influence within Iraq. This has been reported via the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps having determined that the type of missiles used in those attacks is the same used by the IAF in attacks on Syria targets.
Khurais is the closest of the targets to the Yemen border, but is still 770km away. That alone makes it hard to believe an attack from a position within Yemen is plausible. As well Saudi counter measures are gear for an attack from the south due to prior attacks.
What is interesting in all this is the timing - Bolton resigning and Trump leaving the possibility of an open dialog with Iran - more than likely Israel is not pleased with either.
As it is wise to leave as many options open - I feel the same should be applied when it comes to suspects who are motivated to carry out such a highly coordinated attack especially considered there is no conclusive evidence of either the origin or weapons involved.
