(ANSA) - TEHERAN, JUNE 13 - Iran today rejected claims contained in a UN report that the weapons used for attacks last year against oil sites in Saudi Arabia were of Iranian origin. In a tweet, the Iranian ambassador to the United Nations, Majid TakhtRavanchi, said that these accusations were made under the pressure of the United States. "(Affirming) the Iranian origin of weapons - TakkhtRavanchi writes - is a mistake. It seems that the US, with their stylistic history of Iran, is now sitting in the driver's seat to write about the" assessments "". Tehran's foreign ministry also dismissed the allegations: "It is interesting - it said in a statement - that the report comes out when the US is working to prepare a dangerous resolution to prolong the embargo on arms against Iran."
