Saudi Arabia says the attack on its oil facilities was unquestionably sponsored by Iran. Overnight the Saudi defence ministry showed off what it says is wreckage of drones and cruise missiles that prove Iranian involvement. It said 18 drones and seven cruise missiles were fired from a direction that ruled out Yemen as a source. Colonel Turki al-Malki says the wreckage showed the attacks were launched from the north and were "unquestionably sponsored by Iran".
