Iran continues to stick to its official line of denying responsibility for the weekend attacks that targeted key Saudi oil refineries and temporarily sent global oil prices soaring. In his latest reaction, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif underscored the plight of Yemenis — who have fallen "victim" to four and a half years of "the worst war crimes" — as enough justification for the Houthis to retaliate against the "aggressor."
"Blaming Iran won't change that," Zarif wrote, stressing diplomacy as the only solution that could benefit all players. In his tweet, the top Iranian diplomat also offered some veiled praise to the Houthi rebels for their success in circumventing the Saudi interception technology, part of the kingdom's whopping arms deals with the United States.
