Iran defends Yemeni rebel attack on Saudi Arabia's oil sites

None

Iran said Monday that the missile-and-drone attack on major Saudi oil sites earlier this month was an act of "legitimate defense" by Yemen's Iran-allied Houthi rebels.

 

The Sept. 14 assault was claimed by the Houthis, though Saudi Arabia says it was "unquestionably sponsored by Iran". The kingdom has been at war with the Houthis in Yemen since March 2015.

 

Iran denies being responsible and has warned any retaliatory attack targeting it will result in an "all-out war".
