The "Why?" is simple; the House of Saud is waging a genocidal war against the people of Yemen. The Iranians are helping the people of Yemen so it is very likely that the drones were supplied by Iran. The shame here is that the U.S. is supporting the House of Saud, the very people who attacked us.A question for all that don't think Iran had anything to do with this attack.
Who did it and who masterminded it and why?

Iran almost certainly supplied the weapons used against the Saudi agressors, yes. Beyond that, I have no basis for an opinion on the planning behind these attacks other than, "good show". If Iranians planned this attack, Trump should give them an f'in medal.So you agree that Iran is backing the attack or even maybe committed the attacks.
Iran is helping the Yemeni in their fight against our common enemy.I think we should supply Iran with some weapons via air freight delivery.

Bullshit. The "government" of Yemen, backed by the House of Saud, harbored Al Qaeda terrorists (also backed by the House of Saud). The Houthis, a home grown resistance movement, now backed by Iran, overthrew the terrorist-harboring, Saudi backed government. The Sauds then launched their genocidal war against the Houthis and anyone else who happens to live in Yemen. So we have the U.S. once again backing the very people who attack us. Even Congress couldn't stomach the stupidity of our policy and told Trump to stop supporting the Sauds' dirty little war.Holy crap is that wrong.
The House of Saud is backing the legitimate government of Yemen against insurgents backed by Iran. Now you can debate the legitimacy of governments in that part of the world until the cows come home, but the semi-dictatorship of Yemen was ousted in an Arab Spring movement and a more moderate (read that as "west friendly") government took over. They had problems of course, any change of government in that part of the world is pretty much a civil war waiting to happen. The Iranians are backing the terrorists because they want a pro-west government out of that area and they want a more militant one on the border with Saudi Arabia to give the Saudi's something to worry about. Saudi Arabia is backing the moderate government because a) it is in fact the legal and legit one and b) yeah, they don't want Iran-backed militants on their border.
The Iranians are most assuredly not "helping the people of Yemen", that is perhaps the dumbest thing ever said here. This is a proxy war, Iranian-backed militants vs Saudi-backed moderates being fought in Yemen without the slightest regard for the people of Yemen on either side. It's Iran vs Saudi Arabia, they're just letting other people do the dying for them.
Classic. The US government should murder some foreigners because some foreigners did something the US doesn't like.I think we should supply Iran with some weapons via air freight delivery.

Line of sight is only needed to change instructions. A drone programmed to fly to a specific GPS point, drop a bomb, and return to a specific GPS point doesn't require line of sight.
Still, drones shouldnt get through. Many anti-drone systems developed over the years and should have prevented this from happening.

Also, LOL at the idea of a Saudi-backed pro-western government.

One bad guy directly attacked the United States, murdering 3,000 people and sponsors terrorism around the world. The other bad guy is Iran. We don't really need to pick either.Which bad guy do we pick? Choices choices

Sounds like a job for the B-21 Raider..... Maybe they can take a pre production unit out for a trial run as nobody would see it. 😀I think we should supply Iran with some weapons via air freight delivery.
The Iranian regime is by no means good, in fact they are very bad in their treatment of their own people; they just aren't our enemies.Why is Iran the other bad guy? Our hostility is what keeps their hard liners going.
