Iranian official asserts UN’s report about Iran’s role in attack on Aramco is a politicized move

The Iranian Parliament Speaker’s Special Aide for International Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has affirmed that the report issued by the United Nations Secretariat on the missile used in attacks on Saudi oil facilities last year is groundless and politicized.

He tweeted today: “The UN Secretariat’s report claiming missiles hit Saudi Aramco w/Iranian origin is a politicized move & baseless allegation. Roots of regional insecurity must be sought in Tel Aviv, Riyadh behavior. Iran has the most constructive role in establishing regional & global sustainable security.”

Yesterday the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran has dismissed the allegations made by the United Nations Secretariat that the missile used in attacks on Saudi oil facilities last year were of Iranian origin, saying the accusations have been raised under political pressures from Washington and Riyadh.

“Cruise missiles used in several attacks on oil facilities and an international airport in Saudi Arabia last year were of “Iranian origin,” U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the Security Council on Thursday.
