President Trump designated the Iran-backed Houthi militia as terrorists, so therefore Joe Biden had to remove them from that list even though they continue to commit terroristic acts. If Joe Biden ever does something right, I assure you it will be entirely by accident. Is it any wonder that Saudi Arabia has rebuffed Biden at every turn, especially when it comes to oil production, which is the main target of the Houthi.
Most recently, they attacked oil tanks in the city of Jeddah and set two tanks on fire. The Saudis were able to extinguish the fires and there were no injuries, but next time it could be much more serious.
The Saudi Press Agency said in a statement:
“At (1725), Saudi Aramco’s Bulk Plant in Jeddah was targeted with an act of aggression, the early indications of which suggest that it was targeted by the terrorist, Iran-backed Houthi militia. A fire erupted in (2) tanks in the oil facility; the fire was controlled, and no injuries or loss of life were recorded. This hostile escalation targets oil facilities, and aims to undermine energy security and the backbone of global economy. These hostile attacks had no impact or repercussions in any way, shape or form on public life in Jeddah City.”
The Houthi admitted that they were responsible for the attack on Jeddah and at the same time took credit for the attack on Riyadh.

The Houthis struck an Aramaco facility in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia a while ago. The KSA's foreign ministry signaled earlier this week that Houthi attacks were taking a toll on the production of oil. Today's attack will likely exacerbate the problem. pic.twitter.com/HqyYsJ0ytH

The Associated Press reported:
Meanwhile, Saudi state TV also acknowledged attacks in one town targeting water tanks that damaged vehicles and homes. Another attack targeted an electrical substation in an area of southwestern Saudi Arabia near the Yemeni border, state TV said.
The North Jiddah Bulk Plant stores diesel, gasoline and jet fuel for use in Jiddah, the kingdom’s second-largest city. It accounts for over a quarter of all of Saudi Arabia’s supplies and also supplies fuel crucial to running a regional desalination plant.
The Houthis have twice targeted the North Jiddah plant with cruise missiles. One attack came in November 2020. The last came on Sunday as part of a wider barrage by the Houthis.
Way to go, Joe.
