Britain has concluded that Iran’s regime was responsible for attacks on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia<\/a>, United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Monday.<\/p>\n

The United States and Saudi Arabia have already blamed Iran’s regime for the September 14 strikes on two Saudi Aramco oil plants that initially halved the country’s crude output.<\/p>\n

“The UK is attributing responsibility with a very high degree of probability to Iran for the Aramco attacks. We think it very likely indeed that Iran was indeed responsible,” Johnson told reporters on a plane to the United Nations General Assembly in New York.<\/p>\n

“We will be working with our American friends and our European friends to construct a response that tries to de-escalate tensions in the Gulf region,” he said, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n

British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab also said it was very likely Iran’s regime was responsible for the attack.<\/p>\n

“The UK believes it is very likely that Iran was responsible for the outrageous, unlawful attack on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia,” Raab said on Twitter.<\/p>\n

“We will work with our international partners on a robust diplomatic response and for stability in the region,” he added.<\/p>\n

A UK official told The Associated Press that a claim of responsibility for the attacks by Iran-allied Houthi rebels in Yemen was \u201cimplausible.\u201d He said remnants of Iran-made cruise missiles were found at the attack site, and \u201cthe sophistication points very, very firmly to Iranian involvement.\u201d He spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence findings.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, the President-elect of\u00a0the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)<\/a>, described the attack on a neighboring country\u2019s oil installations a major step and a new phase in the warmongering aggressions of the religious dictatorship ruling Iran, adding that exerting power and decisiveness is\u00a0the only language the mullahs understand<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Inaction only emboldens this medieval regime, whose primary victims are the Iranian people, she noted<\/a>, emphasizing that the ultimate solution to rid the world of Iran\u2019s ruling religious fascism as the source of all crises in the region is a change of this illegitimate regime by the Iranian people and their organized resistance movement.
