Saudi king says attacks by Iran-backed groups threaten global oil

(Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's King Salman said on Saturday that attacks on Saudi oil assets last month by Iran-backed groups are a threat to global oil supplies and regional security. "The drone attacks on Saudi oil pumping stations carried out by groups supported by Iran not only threaten the security of the kingdom and the Gulf, but also threaten maritime safety and global oil supplies," Salman said at an Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) summit in the Saudi city of Mecca.
