Member of National Security and Foreign Policy Commission says Iran has evidence that will be taken to the UN
A member of Iran’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission said on Wednesday that footage proves last week’s attack on an Iranian oil tanker was carried out by the U.S., Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Abolfazl Hassanbeigi was quoted in the Iranian news agency Mehr as saying that the evidence “will be taken to the UN and the Security Council so that those countries behind this terrorist attack would pay for their action.”
On Friday, Iranian state television said an Iranian-owned oil tanker was struck by two missiles off the Saudi port of Jeddah. The tanker was set ablaze, destroying two storerooms causing an oil leak into the Red Sea, about 60 miles (96 km) from Jeddah.
