Bolton: Iran attacked Yanbu oil terminal. DEBKAfile alone reported this

US National Security Adviser John Bolton said during a visit to the UAE that he suspected Iran was behind “the failed attack recently on the Saudi oil pot city of Yanbu.”  This attack which took place on May 6 was never reported by any publication until DEBKAfile disclosed it had taken place, revealing also that it was the opening of shot of a series of subsequent Iranian attacks on Gulf oil targets. Bolton added that Iran was “almost certainly” being behind [subsequent] sabotage attacks on oil tankers off the UAE coast this month. He did not refer to any US reprisals for  Iran’s serial sabotage.
