Mike Pompeo condemns Iran following drone attacks on Saudi oil facilities

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Saturday condemned Iran following drone attacks on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, which had been blamed on Yemeni rebels.

"There is no evidence the attacks came from Yemen," Pompeo said on Twitter.

"We call on all nations to publicly and unequivocally condemn Iran's attacks. The United States will work with our partners and allies to ensure that energy markets remain well supplied and Iran is held accountable for its aggression."

Football: Neymar scores stunning late winner on PSG return
