“In itself, this step is provocative and destructive, taken before any investigation was conducted and without providing any evidence,” the RIA Novosti quotes the text of the statement.

As noted in the department, this step is based "solely on the ridiculous argument" there is no other possible explanation. "

Diplomats called this approach irresponsible and custom-made and warned that such statements could lead to an escalation in Yemen.

Earlier, the leaders of the European trio in a joint communique said that Iran was behind the attack on the oil facilities of Saudi Arabia. According to them, "there is no other plausible explanation."

On September 14, in Saudi Arabia, drones attacked two refineries of the state-owned company Saudi Aramco. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused Tehran of this attack.
