on wednesday, the defense ministry released weapons that may have been used in the bombing. let's go to cnn's nic robertson. nic? >> reporter: good morning. what the saudis put on display, the cruise missiles and drones that were used in the attack, there were 18 droenes and 7 cruise missiles. these attacks could not have come from yemen, that it was the iranians that made the missile systems. they wouldn't be pushed on where the attack came from. those responsible would have to be held accountable. what seems clear in the picture emerging here, secretary of state mike pompeo here, is not having a press conference, leaving right around now. that alone is showing you that the united states and the saudis are trying to dampen down what might happen next. the saudis won't point the finger of blame, shows they are not looking for a military confrontation at this moment. what they are trying to do is build international support for their position. and i asked the military general in charge of this, if they're achieving that. this is what he told me. >> the attack is not against j

on wednesday, the defense ministry released weapons that may have been used in the bombing. he will try to rally support for action against tehran. let's go live to saudi arabia and bring in nic robertson. nic, good morning. >> reporter: yeah, good morning to you, dave. what the saudi ministry of defense has tried to do here, and we were allowed to get a close-up look at the missile parts, of course, again. we're not experts. experts will have been able to get a degree of familiarity with them and you see the missile systems that are there. that may or may not back up the saudi claims that these are iranian-made missiles. but the saudis have invited experts to come here and get their hands on this equipment and take a look at it with the u.s. saudi investigators. the u.n. has been invited to send experts, as well. and saudi arabia is really using this attack right now. not as a -- not to call for war on iran, but to just, if you will, to pull back the cotton wool over the international community's eyes, that they are under attack and the region is under the threat of the mal

obviously he will be following up on this presentation by the saudi defense ministry.stion is the more you point the finger at iran, whether they just sponsored it or launched the attack, the question immediately becomes, what are you going to do about it? there has been some hesitation on the international community's part to point the finger too quickly at iran because of uncertainty over what they will do next. do you launch a retaliatory strike? do? already -- do you do something else? there's criticism from donald trump's supporters that if he doesn't do more than in act tough sanctions, he risk making his administration in the united states look weak here. there's a lot of choreography going on behind the scenes. this is probably just the first part of what i think is going to be an unfolding process as international governments try to put more pressure on tehran. guy: one of the things the oil market will be trying to figure out is how well defended our saudi facilities. we seen the fact that they clearly weren't. the question is, are they now? how critical a pa

the news conference from the saudi arabian defense ministries press secretary is a catastrophe for saudi arabia they've shown they cannot prove or know exactly where the cruise missiles and drones were made from exactly with that attack was launched or why a defense systems could not prevent that tank the only thing that might be iranian related is that maybe some of the equipment some of the technology that the who these have might have been incorporated into the attack but why why or why is anyone complaining especially the saudis since the u.s. has been providing the bombs and the aircraft to the saudis to bomb yemen for 4 years so the who with these are just responding back then again to those saying it's iran because there are alleged iranian components in the day bri does that mean that the u.s. is responsible for horrific massacre in yemen i mean sure saudi arabia dropped the bombs but those say made in the united states more likely than not be has been clearing the shelves of american arms manufacturers recently by this logic there's no need to investigate or collect evidence it'
