Iranian officials today said that Iran is not attacking Saudi Arabia and it was just a propaganda of an American newspaper.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said that the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report that Iran is about to hit targets inside Saudi Arabia was totally baseless. He said that the report was an attempt to undermine the “growing positive” process in relations between the Islamic Republic and regional Arab countries.
“Such biased reports by certain West and Zionists are aimed at creating a ‘negative atmosphere’ against Iran and harm the ‘ongoing positive process’ with regional countries,” Nasser Kanaani told media.
On Wednesday (Nov 2), Saudi intelligence issued an alert of Iranian attack on the kingdom within 48 hours and the KSA shared this critical intelligence report with the US officials.
According to Saudi intelligence reports, Iran could be preparing for an imminent attack on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
In a statement issued today, the National Security Council said, “We are concerned about the threat and are in contact through military and intelligence channels with the Saudis.
According to the TRT World, an official who confirmed the intelligence sharing claimed that the threat of an attack was credible and Iran can attack KSA “soon or within 48 hours.”
Irani Foreign Ministry spokesman Kanaani said, “The Islamic Republic of Iran will continue its policy of good neighborliness based on mutual respect within the framework of international principles. Iran will seriously continue to establish and promote stability and security in the region through constructive ties with neighbors.”
Quoting Saudi and U.S. officials an American newspaper, Wall Street Journal asserted, “Saudi Arabia has shared intelligence with the U.S. about an imminent attack from Iran on targets in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia”
