Tehran, September 18 (RHC)-- Iran has warned the United States that any action taken against the country over the false accusation that Tehran was behind the recent attacks on Saudi Arabian oil facilities will be met with an immediate response.

In an official note passed to the Swiss Embassy in Tehran, which represents U.S. interests, Iran reiterated that it was not behind the Saturday attacks on Saudi Arabian oil facilities.  It condemned and rejected claims by U.S. President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that Iran was involved in the attack.

The note was handed to the Swiss Embassy shortly after the U.S. accused Iran of involvement in the attacks.  In the note, Iran said that any action taken against the country would be met with immediate counteraction, which would not be limited to the source of the act of aggression.

Last Saturday, Yemeni armed forces conducted a large-scale operation against Saudi Arabia’s Aramco oil installations in response to the Saudi-led war on their country, causing a partial halt in crude and gas production from the world’s top oil exporter.

A short while later, Trump said the U.S. was “locked and loaded” for a response at the behest of Saudi Arabia, although he later said that he wanted no conflict with any country.  Still later, the Pentagon reportedly prepared “response” options for the U.S. president.
