Several Iranian officials responded on Sept. 16 following a remark by U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who said the country’s regime is likely responsible for drone attacks on Saudi oil facilities.

“The Saudi-led coalition has been fueling the flames of war in the region with recurrent acts of aggression against Yemen and committing various war crimes for around five years, while Yemenis have proved that they stand against war and aggression,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said, according to the state-backed Tasnim News Agency.
