Iran's foreign minister says blaming Tehran for attacks on major Saudi oil sites won't end war in Yemen.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The Latest on the tensions in the Persian Gulf a day after Iran-backed Yemeni rebels attacked major oil sites in Saudi Arabia :Iran’s foreign minister says that blaming Iran for Yemeni rebel attacks on major Saudi oil sites will not end the war in the Arab world’s most impoverished country — but that talks might.
He also says: “US & its clients are stuck in Yemen because of illusion that weapon superiority will lead to military victory.” Late Saturday, Pompeo directly blamed Iran for the attack on major Saudi oil sites, without offering evidence to support his claim.Iraq is denying that its country was the site from where Yemeni-rebel drones were launched to attack Saudi oil installations.It says Iraq would act “decisively” if anyone tried to use its territory to attack other countries.
Saturday’s drone attacks by Iranian-backed Yemeni rebels have halted about half of Saudi oil supplies after hitting the kingdom’s biggest oil processing facility and a major oil field.
