JEDDAH/DUBAI - Saudi Arabia promised evidence on Wednesday linking its main regional adversary Iran to an unprecedented attack on its oil industry, which Washington also blames on Tehran in a perilous escalation of Middle East frictions.
“We don’t want conflict in the region ... Who started the conflict?” he added, blaming Washington and its Gulf allies for war in Yemen. Concrete evidence showing Iranian responsibility, if made public, could pressure Riyadh and Washington into a response, though both nations were stressing the need for caution.
United Nations officials monitoring sanctions on Iran and Yemen were also heading to Saudi Arabia to investigate. Saudi Arabia said on Tuesday the 5.7 million barrels per day of output lost would be fully restored by the end of the month. Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has offered to sell Riyadh defense systems, called for a “thorough and impartial” probe during a phone call with Prince Mohammed.
