Iran rejects E3's 'provocative' claims about raids on Saudi oil sites
Tehran (KNA) - Tehran has strongly condemned the “destructive” and “provocative” claims made by Britain, France and Germany about Iranian involvement in Yemen’s retaliatory drone raids on Saudi oil installations, warning that the trio will be responsible for the consequences of such “irresponsible” statements.
In a statement on Tuesday, Iran's Foreign Ministry said it is "highly destructive and provocative" in itself to hold a third government responsible for an attack that was carried out during an all-out war between Saudi Arabia and Yemen, while the latter has claimed responsibility, let alone rushing to conclusions without any probe and only based on "a ridiculous rationale."
It added that such remarks and measures would only fuel the flames of the Yemen war and may lead to its expansion.
The ministry slammed the three European states - known as E3 - for leveling unreal accusations against other countries with politically-motivated purposes while fully supporting Saudi Arabia, particularly through exporting huge amounts of arms to the child-killer regime, stressing that this is a "dangerous trend" and trio would be liable for the consequences that their statement can have for regional peace and security.
On September 14, Yemen's Ansarullah movement and their allies in the Yemeni army deployed as many as 10 drones to bomb Abqaiq and Khurais oil facilities run by the Saudi state-owned oil company Aramco.
