Iran rejects UN report that arms ‘of Iranian origin’ used in Saudi attacks

On Friday, Iran rejected a United Nations report that said cruise missiles used in attacks on oil facilities and an airport in Saudi Arabia last year were of “Iranian origin”, saying it had been drawn up under U.S. and Saudi influence.

In a statement, Iran’s Foreign Ministry said that “Iran denies allegations by the U.N. Secretariat that appear to have been made under political pressure from the U.S. and Saudi regimes”.
