Al-Monitor: Intel: Missiles that struck Saudi Arabia last year 'of Iranian origin,' UN says

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says in a report that the drones and cruise missiles that struck Saudi Arabia’s oil refineries and an international airport last year came from Iran.

The secretary general said UN experts inspected weapons debris collected at the sites of the September 2019 attack on Aramco’s Abqaiq and Khurais oil facilities, as well as the Houthi-claimed June and August strikes at Abha International Airport and a strike on the Afif oil facility in May.

“The Secretariat assesses that the cruise missiles and/or parts thereof used in the four attacks are of Iranian origin,” Guterres said in a document first reported by Reuters on Thursday.
