Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi has said that Iran was not behind the recent attack on Saudi Arabia’s oil installations.

In an interview with a US television channel, Takht-Ravanchi said Iran has made it clear to Saudi Arabia that it did not carry out the strike on the oil facilities.

It is worth noting that a drone attack targeted a refinery at Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia’s largest oil-exporting port and the biggest oil-exporting port in the world.

According to the Saudi Ministry of Defence, debris from the drones caused a limited fire at the refinery, which was quickly brought under control.

No civilians were injured in the incident.

Meanwhile, Iran’s semi-official news agency Tasnim News Agency cited Iranian military sources, claiming that the attacks on Saudi oil installations were part of an Israeli “false flag” operation.

It said the purpose of the Israeli strikes was to mislead regional countries and divert attention from attacks on civilian sites within Iran.

Iranian media sources stated that Iran has clearly declared it will target all US and Israeli interests, installations, and facilities in the region.

However, the Saudi Aramco refinery is not included among these targets, the media reports stated.

Citing intelligence, the reports claimed that the Fujairah Port in the United Arab Emirates could be the next target of Israel’s false-flag operation as Israel was planning to carry out a strike.
