The Saudi Arabia Aramco oil field attack could only have been done by three countries with military assets in the area: Israel, Russia or the United States. To get the precision of the strikes, hitting five “spheroids” at the exactly same spot on each, requires a country with its own Global Positioning Satellite technology with accuracy of one meter or less. Iran does not have its own GPS satellite. Israel does.
New York Post: Satellite images released by the US government show the widespread damage and the surgical quality of the strikes against Saudi oil facilities that forced the kingdom to shut down half of its oil production. The attacks, carried out with an estimated 20 drones and a number of cruise missiles, hit their targets 17 times at the Abqaiq oil refinery and the Khurais oil field on Saturday morning.
They were “extremely surgical,” Samir Madani, co-founder of satellite tracking firm TankerTrackers.com, told CNBC. The report said analysts concluded that of the 17 hits, 14 storage tanks and three processing trains were targeted. “Those punctured tanks — same position on all of them,” Madani told the business media outlet. The images, first obtained by the Associated Press, reveal that a number of “spheroids” used to process crude oil were also hit, indicating a high-level of accuracy
