Tehran directly pointed the finger at the Israeli occupation for being behind the aerial attack that targeted the facilities of the Aramco oil company in Saudi Arabia this Monday morning. Sources quoted a military official as saying that the operation falls under the category of a 'false flag,' through which Tel Aviv seeks to stir up regional affairs and divert attention away from the military operations it is conducting against non-civilian targets within Iranian territory.
Iranian military sources confirmed that Aramco facilities have never been among Iran's target bank until this moment, despite previous warnings to place all American and Israeli interests in the region under fire. The official explained that Iran does not hesitate to claim responsibility for any strikes it carries out, noting that intelligence data warns of similar Israeli plans that may target the Port of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates in the coming period.
On the ground, the Saudi Ministry of Defense announced the success of its forces in intercepting and destroying two drones that attempted to target the Ras Tanura refinery in the Eastern Province. Informed sources reported that Aramco took immediate precautionary measures, including temporarily closing the refinery to ensure the safety of facilities and workers, confirming that the situation is now under full control and the attack did not result in significant damage to oil supplies.
This escalation comes at a time when the region is experiencing unprecedented turmoil, as Israeli and American forces continue a wide-ranging aerial campaign against Iran that began last Saturday, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of people, including senior leaders. In contrast, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth admitted that the operations are directly aimed at undermining and destroying Iranian military capabilities, amid human and material losses suffered by American forces stationed in the region.
On the Palestinian front, the occupation continues its policy of restriction by closing all Gaza Strip crossings, including the Rafah crossing, coinciding with its open regional war. Reports indicate real fears that the head of the occupation government, Benjamin Netanyahu, will renege on the commitments of the second phase of the ceasefire agreement, amid the ongoing massacres that have raised the death toll in Gaza to more than 72,000 martyrs since the start of the aggression in October 2023.
Observers believe that Iran's accusation of Israel carrying out the Aramco attack reflects the depth of the security crisis in the region, as all parties try to draw new red lines. While Tehran insists that targeting Gulf oil facilities is not in its interest at the moment, concerns remain about the region sliding into a comprehensive war that goes beyond direct clashes to striking the nerve center of the global economy in international energy corridors.
The attack on Aramco facilities was carried out by Israelis and is considered an example of a false flag operation aimed at diverting the region's attention from the crimes committed inside Iran.
