Iran denies US Embassy Riyadh drone attack
Shafaq News- Tehran
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Saturday dismissed any involvement in a drone attack targeting the US Embassy in Riyadh, blaming Israel and describing the incident as unrelated to its armed forces.
The IRGC warned that any attack on Iranian embassies or diplomatic missions would be treated as an attack on its armed forces and met with a swift response. It had previously said Israel and the United States are carrying out “false flag” operations aimed at turning countries in the region against Iran.
Earlier today, the IRGC launched the 94th wave of Operation True Promise 4, targeting US assets across the Middle East and Israeli military and industrial sites in southern areas including Dimona, the Negev, and Beersheba, adding that Israeli air defenses failed to intercept the missiles.
Israel, meanwhile, said it carried out a new wave of airstrikes across Tehran targeting what it described as air defense systems, missile storage sites and military infrastructure linked to the Iranian government.
