BreakingNews·190918 - 沙特無人機襲擊后油價上漲

Oil prices soared on Monday after the drone attacks on oil plants in Saudi Arabia. Prices saw their biggest rise in a decade. At one point, prices shot up by nearly 20 per cent. This is the biggest one-day rise since the 1990-91 Gulf War. Saudi Arabia's Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said the drone attack on Saudi Arabia's Abqaiq oil plant cut the kingdom's oil production in half. The attacks will cut the world's daily oil production by five per cent. The Bloomberg news agency said it could take weeks for Saudi to repair the damage. During this time, people could see higher gasoline prices at the pumps, especially in Asia. People may also have to pay higher prices for food and other goods.

無人機襲擊沙特阿拉伯的石油工廠后，周一油價飆升。油價出現(xiàn)了十年來的最大漲幅，一度飆升近20%。這是自1990-91年海灣戰(zhàn)爭以來最大的單日漲幅。沙特阿拉伯能源部長阿卜杜勒阿齊茲·本·薩勒曼親王說，無人駕駛飛機襲擊沙特阿比克石油廠，使沙特石油產(chǎn)量減半。這些襲擊將使世界石油日產(chǎn)量減少5%。彭博社說，沙特可能需要數(shù)周時間才能修復損失。在此期間，人們可以看到加油站的汽油價格上漲，尤其是在亞洲。人們可能還要為食品和其他商品支付更高的價格。

Yemen's Houthi group has claimed responsibility for the attacks in Saudi Arabia. The group said the attacks were because of Saudi Arabia's attacks on rebel groups in Yemen. Iran's President Hassan Rouhani supported the Houthi claim. He called the attack an act of self defense. He said: "Yemeni people are exercising their legitimate right of defense. The attack was a reciprocal response to years of Saudi aggression against Yemen." However, an Arab coalition says there is evidence that the weapons used to strike the Saudi oil plants were made by Iran. U.S. officials say satellite images suggest the attacks came from either Iraq or Iran and not Yemen. Iranian officials called the U.S. allegations "maximum lies".

也門胡塞組織聲稱對沙特阿拉伯的襲擊事件負責。該組織說，襲擊是因為沙特阿拉伯襲擊了也門的反叛組織。伊朗總統(tǒng)魯哈尼支持胡塞的說法。他稱這次襲擊是自衛(wèi)行為。他說：“也門人民正在行使他們的正當防衛(wèi)權。這次襲擊是對沙特多年來對也門的侵略做出的回應。”然而，一個阿拉伯聯(lián)盟表示，有證據(jù)表明，襲擊沙特石油工廠的武器是伊朗制造的。美國官員說，衛(wèi)星圖像顯示襲擊來自伊拉克或伊朗，而不是也門。伊朗官員稱美國的指控是“最大的謊言”。
