The Iranian Foreign Ministry has blamed Israel and the United States for drone attacks on the Arab countries. In a statement, the ministry denied the involvement of Iran in drone attacks on the Gulf countries, including Saudi Arabia.
A spokesman for the ministry said that Israel and the United States are carrying out drone attacks on the Arab countries and blaming Iran to create a rift and anger among the Muslim countries. Iranian Foreign Ministry’s spokesman further stated that Iran did not target the Aramco oil facility in Saudi Arabia. He blamed the US and Israel for this attack.
A couple of days ago, a drone attack hit Aramco’s oil installation in Riyadh, igniting a fire at a facility deep inside Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported this development. However, the drone attack did not cause much damage to the oil company.
Officials provided limited details and did not identify the targeted site. However, Saudi Aramco operates a refinery southeast of the capital that produces gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel for domestic consumption. The company did not immediately comment on the incident. Meanwhile, the international crude benchmark Brent climbed above $62 per barrel, while Aramco shares fell 0.85% on Riyadh’s Tadawul exchange.
Oil infrastructure under growing threat
The latest strike follows previous attacks on key energy sites, including facilities in Ras Tanura, home to the kingdom’s largest crude refinery. In 2019, a major drone and missile assault temporarily halved Saudi oil production. Although the Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack, Washington and Riyadh blamed Tehran, which denied involvement.
Saudi Arabia has led a military coalition after the rebels seized Yemen’s capital, Sanaa. The prolonged war has killed approximately 130,000 people and triggered a severe humanitarian crisis, drawing international criticism over civilian casualties. For more details, click on the link below.
