Tehran condemns the US and Saudi strikes on Iraq and considers these attacks an attempt to expand the scale of the Middle East conflict, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday.
"The Iranian Foreign Ministry strongly condemns the aggressive attacks by the United States and Saudi Arabia on a number of areas of Iraq, including facilities and places belonging to Iraqi government institutions, as well as pilgrimage sites," the ministry said in a statement, adding that these attacks "correspond to the aspirations of the United States and the Israeli regime to expand the scale of the military conflict in the Middle East region."
On Monday, the Saudi Defense Ministry accused pro-Iranian Shiite militias of attempting to attack oil facilities in the east and the capital's province. However, Shiite groups within the Islamic Resistance in Iraq denied involvement in the attacks on Saudi facilities, claiming the kingdom fears acknowledging responsibility on the part of Yemen's Ansar Allah movement, also known as the Houthis, since it would be unable to retaliate. The Yemeni movement said it had attacked facilities transporting Saudi oil from eastern fields to the Red Sea port of Yanbu.
On Tuesday, the Saudi Defense Ministry said that the country’s air defense repelled new drone attacks launched from Iraqi territory targeting oil facilities in the east of the country.
On Tuesday night, the US Central Command said in a statement that US Central Command and the Saudi Arabian Armed Forces conducted precision strikes in Iraq, July 28, against Iran-aligned terrorists that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) directed to attack US forces and Saudi energy infrastructure.
