Iran’s Foreign Ministry has denied any involvement in the attacks on Saudi oil facilities in an official letter to the U.S.
“Iran has nothing to do with the attack,” states the letter, which was delivered to the U.S. via the Swiss embassy in Tehran.“If action is taken against Iran, we will promptly retaliate and the dimensions would not be limited,” Tehran wrote in the letter, according to parts of it published by Iranian news agencyTensions in the Middle East have escalated following drone attacks on two major oil facilities in Saudi Arabia.
Yemen’s Houthi rebels, who have been locked in a war with a Saudi-UAE-led coalition since 2015, claimed responsibility for the attacks, warning Saudi Arabia that their targets “will keep expanding”.But U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo swiftly accused Iran of being behind the assault, without providing any evidence.The claim was rejected by Tehran which said the allegations were meant to justify actions against it.
