Excuse me? The president of the United States is "waiting to hear from Saudi Arabia" to tell us what the facts are and whether we should go to war???
How about consulting with Congress. And our actual allies. After presenting facts verified by our intelligence community. https://t.co/ZU5LRPWvxD

The attacks on Saturday, which hold the potential to seriously disrupt global oil supplies, were claimed by Houthi rebels in Yemen, but Mr. Pompeo said that Iran had launched “an unprecedented attack on the world’s oil supply” https://t.co/tM4dVgxr5B

Iran views US sanctions. as economic warfare. It is saying — as it has been saying — that if the US wants a shooting war, it is prepared for it, and is willing to escalate rather than back down. US needs a serious debate before traipsing into this mess. https://t.co/rw9uAFnLjY
