US indicates Iran to blame for Saudi oil strike; Iran denies
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe United States tries to build its case that Iran was behind the fiery weekend attack on key Saudi Arabian oil facilities that raised new war worries and sent energy prices spiraling worldwide.
American officials release satellite images of the damage at the heart of the kingdom’s crucial Abqaiq oil processing plant and a key oil field, alleging the pattern of destruction suggests Saturday’s attack came from either Iraq or Iran — rather than Yemen, as claimed by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels there.
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi again denies the US claims, telling journalists the accusation was “condemned, unacceptable and categorically baseless.”
