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.

I would never have believed 20 years ago that I would trust the claims of Iran over the claims of my own government

Sounds completely and utterly within the realm of plausibility.
