IRAN DID WHAT IT SAID
After the oil refineries were struck by the U.S.-Israel, Iran, which announced it would carry out retaliatory attacks in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar, did what it said last night. Iran launched drone attacks on oil refineries in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, and in Qatar. There were consecutive explosions in the region. Qatar announced that Iran had carried out another attack on the Ras Laffan Industrial Area, which was hit by missiles yesterday and houses the country's most important liquefied gas facilities, and that a fire broke out in the area.
"THEY ARE MAKING A MISTAKE"
Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan stated regarding Iran's attacks on Gulf countries, "If Iran thinks we will not respond, they are making a mistake."
