So the attack was intended to be on the Saudi, and not on US assets?

That makes it sound somewhat different - like a "regional middle east conflict"

Oops, the Iranians bit more than they can chew !! I wouldn't have mind if they killed him the Middle East though, but thinking of carrying such an act in the US is utter stupidity.

Iran must be out of their minds to try to pull off this assassination attempt on US soil.
