Iran dismisses U.S. blame over Saudi oil field attack as 'maximum falsification' that 'ignored' logic

'Such [American] comments and measures are more akin to the plots hatched by secret and intelligence services for damaging the image of a state to prepare the ground for a series of [hostile] measures,' the Iranian Foreign Ministry said.

Responding to the attack on Saudi Arabia on Saturday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo placed the blame squarely on Iran.

Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif responded with a Sunday tweet of his own, echoing the statement by his ministry's spokesperson. "Unfortunately, it's impossible to take anything from this administration at face value. Even Pompeo's comments seem aimed at obscuring whether there is evidence of Iranian involvement," Abdi told."From someone who has tried to falsely tie Iran to 9/11 in order to justify potential war, anything Pompeo says about the Iranian bogeyman is suspect."
