Readers will recall that the Houthis claimed responsibility for this.<\/h5>\n<h5>However, in the fifth paragraph the WSJ reports that a Houthi spokesman had denied that the group had delivered any such warning.<\/h5>\n<h5>The giveaway that this report is probably disinformation is its source. No names are given nor how they know but according to the WSJ this information is based on what \u201cpeople familiar with the matter said.\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5>In other words \u201cthese people&#8221; could easily be U.S. intelligence analysts who are passing on their views to the WSJ.<\/h5>\n<h5>The Houthis claimed responsibility for the drone attack on <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2019\/09\/14\/middleeast\/yemen-houthi-rebels-drone-attacks-saudi-aramco-intl\/index.html\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Saudi oil facilities on Sept 14<\/span><\/a>. Yet the WSJ&#8217;s source implies that Iran, not the Houthis, was responsible.<\/h5>\n<h5>This fits in with the ongoing U.S. narrative that seeks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2019\/sep\/14\/pompeo-iran-saudi-arabia-oil-yemen-houthi\">to <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">implicate Iran in the attack<\/span><\/a>.
