BREAKING: As tensions rise, Iran says its president and foreign minister have received U.S. visas for annual U.N. meeting in New York.
Iran says its president and foreign minister have received visas from the United States to attend next week’s U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York.
Air Force Col. Pat Ryder, spokesman for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told Pentagon reporters Thursday that U.S. Central Command is talking with the Saudis about ways to mitigate future attacks. He would not speculate on what types of support could be provided. Yemen’s Houthi rebels claim Saturday’s attack was in response to the yearslong Saudi-led war there, but U.S. and Saudi officials say it was launched from the north. Iran and Iraq lie to the north across the Persian Gulf, while Yemen is in the south.A Czech company whose small jet engine is believed to have been used in a cruise missile that attacked a key Saudi Arabian oil installation says it was a low-quality copy, not their genuine product.
Ahmad al-Sahhaf says Gulf security is the responsibility of Gulf countries. In a statement Thursday, he said Iraq rejects Israel’s participation in the coalition. Prince Faisal bin Farhan told Deutschlandfunk radio Thursday it’s not yet clear where the attacks originated but “Iran is definitely behind them.”He says his country’s ultimate response to the oil attacks would also depend on the international community.
The U.S. and Saudi Arabia suspect Iran was behind Saturday’s attack on the world’s largest oil processing facility and a major oil field.
