“I will not delve into the retelling of the report, but at the same time I consider it necessary to clarify that no one presented the Security Council members with such convincing evidence,” the diplomat said.

As Zakharova said, it follows from the report that “some representatives of the secretariat went on business trips at the invitation of interested countries” and “conducted an inspection of some artifacts placed at their disposal”.

“They simply did not have any authority to carry out such reviews ... Based on personal observations, the self-appointed inspectors undertook, for some reason, to assert that what they saw was“ outwardly reminiscent of what the Iranian side once demonstrated at arms exhibitions, ” said a spokeswoman for the ministry.

Zakharova added that “Farsi inscriptions are among the so-called irrefutable evidence.”

On September 14, 2019, in Saudi Arabia, drones attacked two refineries of the state-owned company Saudi Aramco, after which fires occurred at the plants. 

Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the incident with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud.

He also said that Moscow is opposed to blaming Iran for attacks without providing evidence.
