An Iranian military official has denied Tehran’s involvement in projectiles launched from Iraq toward Saudi Arabia, rejecting accusations that Iran was behind recent attacks on the kingdom, according to Anadolu.

Responding to a statement by the Saudi defense minister, the official tells Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB that attributing attacks against US interests in the region to Tehran is “a grave mistake stemming from ignorance of the situation in the region”.

The official also “strongly denied any connection between projectiles fired from other countries toward targets in Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Iran”.
