TEHRAN, Nov. 21 (MNA) – Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast on Tuesday dismissed claims of Iran’s infringements of off-shore oil facilities in the eastern region of Saudi Arabia.
Mehmanparast made the remarks during his regular press briefing in reply to a question about the fact that the Kuwait News Agency reported on November 7 that the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United Nations, Abdallah Al-Mouallimi, had written a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, claiming that last July an Iranian helicopter hovered several times over oil rig sites in the Hasba field, and on another occasion two Iranian military launches intercepted and stopped a vessel belonging to a Saudi Aramco contractor in the area.
