Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif said 'the attack on Iran was a sophisticated, state-sponsored action.'
Iran's top diplomat has said a foreign government was behind an alleged recent missile attack on one of the country's oil tankers in the Red Sea.
"The attack on Iran was a sophisticated, state-sponsored action," Zarif told the country's official parliamentary news agency. A photo shared October 11 by the National Iranian Oil Company shows what is said to be the Sabiti oil tanker on the day that it was targeted in an alleged missile attack in the Red Sea, about 60 miles off the port of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.The National Iranian Oil Company later released images Monday showing what appeared to be a pair of holes above the water on the ship's right side.
Though damaged, the ship is said to be operating normally and on its way back to Iran. Rouhani also expressed the opinion that"there is certainly a government involved and it is not a terrorist act," warning there would be"consequences" for those found responsible following the investigation.
