did don't use fear no how you know. start september 18th on d w. this is deja vu news live from berlin u.s. president donald trump tweets that the u.s. is locked and loaded after drone strikes damaged major oil facilities in saudi arabia american officials blame iran even though who's the rebels in yemen claim responsibility also on the show. a landmark election in tunisia counting is underway after voters went to the polls in snap presidential elections the voters

seen as a potential model of glib peaceful political transition in the north african country . and in german bundesliga soccer freiburg a team that struggled last season skyrockets towards the top of the tape. welcome to the program u.s. president donald trump has hinted at a potential military response to attacks on saudi arabia's oil infrastructure strikes that washington blames on iran trumped tweeted there is reason to believe that we know the culture culprit we are locked and loaded depending on verification but are waiting to hear from the kingdom. tehran backed who the rebels in yemen have in fact claimed responsibility but the u.s.

claims there is no evidence that the attack was launched from yemen and instead blames iran without providing evidence of that let's take a listen to what iran's president has signed rouhani had to say earlier for your vision for the issue of roma americans instead of confessing that they have presence in the region or. in syria in yemen and other areas he has been problematic they accuse the countries of the region. and for more on this story we're joined by adnan tablets have middle east analyst based in dusseldorf adnan thanks for joining us who's the rebels in yemen say they did it but the u.s. accuses iran but it denies any role what's the american motivation here and just the messaging coming from d.c. is the continuation of the maximum pressure to compete with essence says that iran

is responsible for literally all the ills in the region but obviously also security in the region so that is i think 1st and foremost the motivation behind well secretary of state might feel sad when he blamed you wrong right after the attacks you know looking forward who think rebels threatened more attacks can saudi arabia protect itself. well i think this is a delicate situation for the kingdom and it. felt it was safe under the u.s. and britain missile systems but these it has to be carried out regardless and in its scope and magnitude i think these attacks happen unprecedented so it's going to be very difficult and delicate indeed for the for the kingdom to also think about how to respond how to prevent further such attacks and i think the u.s. will have to in fact ensure to protect the kingdom more effectively. saudi officials are saying output of oil is down by half how will this affect

global oil supplies and global growth well this is this is certainly something that properly qualified economists can assess better but i would assume that what we're going to see is probably starting with with the with tomorrow with early next week you'll see a rise in oil prices and the reactions of that will also show who is benefiting from such a situation we will hear the message in coming from the region some will be more i am happy than others and will alarm and ring alarm bells and say this is a unbearable situation we have to deescalate and i think this is what in general such incidents of brain and therefore the volatility is going on and with that obviously also a potential shock in the oil market you're talking about the need for deescalation but the u.s. has not ruled out a strike against iran's oil field what do you think the risk of

a regional conflict is with washington playing a big military role. yes but we have been seeing particularly since may this year when you run started to in fact have some deniable action here and there i think both the u.s. and iran will continue. operations that are not necessarily attributable easily so i don't see a major escalation between iran and us going into open conflict but events like this where in fact who find it but iran might out in support of it and similar attacks in retaliation be it in syria in iraq in the iranian as it's our it's these things will probably continue to happen and that makes it dangerous because the entire region will be affected ok middle east analyst adnan targeted by thanks for that. pleasure and now to some of the other stories making news around the
