‘Blaming Iran won’t end disaster,’ says Iranian Foreign Minister
TEHRAN: Iranian Foreign Minister, Javad Zaraf on Sunday replied to US Secretary of the State Mike Pompeo, who earlier accused Iran of launching attacks at Saudi Arabia’s Aramco facility, that blaming Iran of attacks will not put an end to the disaster.
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zaraf on Sunday used the famous microblogging site, Twitter, to reply Mike Pompeo, who directly accused Iran of the drone attacks on Saudi Arabian oil refinery, Aramco.
Having failed at ‘max pressure’, @SecPompeo’s turning to ‘max deceit’,” Zarif tweeted. “US and its clients are stuck in Yemen because of illusion that weapon superiority will lead to military victory. Blaming Iran won’t end disaster. Accepting our April ’15 proposal to end the war and begin talks may.”
