Two oil facilities of Saudi Aramco, the world's largest oil company, caught fire after being attacked by drones. After the incident, Saudi Arabia and the United States accused Iran of being behind the scenes, but the Tehran government denied its participation. US Secretary of State Pompeo said that Iran should be responsible for the drone attack on important facilities in oil-rich areas in eastern Saudi Arabia.
