Iranian drone training points accusing fingers to involvement in attacks on Saudi Arabia
Ongoing Iranian aerial drone exercises are bringing to mind Iran's responsible for attacks on Saudi oil facilities in September 2019.
Following the attacks,
Tehran denied any responsibility for them.
However, drones
similar to the ones that launched the attacks are used in the ongoing drills.
The Iranian official
television broadcast footage of the drills, showing drones attacking targets in
some bases.
The same drones are
similar to the ones used in the attack on the Saudi oil facilities, raising
suspicions about Iran's involvement in these attacks, according to the
Associated Press.
The Iranian
Revolutionary Guard Corpse conducted three drills in less than two weeks. The
drill witnessed the launch of a new generation of surface-to-surface ballistic
missiles.
The Revolutionary
Guard said the missiles contain separate warheads.
According to the
Fares news agency, the drills were conducted in the Iranian central desert.
These drills come
hard on the heels of other drills conducted by the Iranian navy in the Gulf of
Oman. These naval drills come amid tensions with the United States and Arab
countries.
New missiles were
tested in the drills along with a large number of drones, according to the
commander of the Revolutionary Guard Corpse who attended the training.
Saudi Arabia said
the attacks on its oil facilities in September 2019 were backed by Iran.
It added that the attacks were not launched from Yemen, but from a site in the northern direction that is being investigated.
