In a media note on the United Nations Yemen Panel of Experts Report, the US mission to the UN said Tehran was trying to destabilize global economy when it attacked Saudi’s oil facilities last year.
“It was an attack not only against a sovereign state but against the global economy as well,” the US mission said in a statement.
Tensions raised in the Gulf after several assaults carried out against oil tankers last summer, including a major attack on Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities.
Evidences provided by US, France, Germany and UK pointed to Iran, despite Tehran-backed Houthis’ claim of responsibility.
“Since its September attack, Iran has continued its program of terrorism, nuclear extortion, and destabilizing behavior. Iranian-backed militias have launched 12 rocket attacks against Iraqi military facilities hosting US service members and incited the December 31 assault on the US embassy in Baghdad,” the statement read.
