Description:

Oil fields in Saudi Arabia are hit with drone strikes resulting in price increases in crude oil. US President Trump approves the deployment of additional troops to improve Saudi air and missile defense.

Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels claim responsibility for the attack due to Saudi intervention in Yemen's civil war, however, the US and Saudi Arabia blame Iran.
