Iran's foreign minister said the U.S. is 'posturing' by sending troops and defense equipment to Saudi Arabia
Iran's foreign minister said the U.S. is "posturing" by sending troops and defense equipment to Saudi Arabia in response to last week's attacks on a major Saudi Arabia oil facility, for which he again denied Iran was responsible.
President Donald Trump on Friday approved the deployment of U.S. troops and missile defense equipment to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Zarif also denied that Iran had anything to do with the attacks and said it will likely not accept the results of any United Nations investigation into them. U.N.
