Iran warns U.S. after drone attacks on Saudi refineries
Another attack has occurred in what some have called a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for a series of drone attacks that have disrupted oil prices, trade, and production. Euronews, though it only has a very slight left-lean, is obviously eurocentric (as it is a French company) and has from a western perspective, providing opinion statements largely from western politicians. The article does include statements from middle eastern people but they are either reporting of hard facts or a government's position, not an individual's opinion. Though it's true that this attack affects the world, it is important that opinions of those directly affected are also represented. This is relatively small, and is, to a point, useful as the audience is definitely westerners, but must be considered.
Though I personally do not agree with the Houthi slogan “God is great, death to America, death to Israel, curse on the Jews, victory to Islam.”, I do believe that they have the right to practice religion as they wish, as so far, the conflict for the Houthi rebels is largely a Shia freedom movement. I personally would see the conflicted ended, as many others also say in the world community. The UN has denounced the conflict as "the worst (Humanitarian crisis) in the world". I am biased by my religious views, which call for peace and cessation of war. I am also opposed to any human rights abuse. I do not condemn this attack specifically any more than the other in the war (I have very little bias toward either side of the conflict as the issues they fight over are not issues that affect me, or that I am very opinionated on).
The audience for the article seems to be professional adults and the educated public is western, English speaking countries such as the UK, the UK, France, and other European countries. It is pointed at people interested in international affairs, and businesspeople who may be affected.
