Over the past few months, the United States and Saudi Arabia, two of Iran’s key adversaries, have blamed the Islamic Republic for a series of attacks on commercial vessels in the Persian Gulf and oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, which Iran categorically denies having conducted.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media that a senior Iranian lawmaker has blamed the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia for the recent attack on an Iranian tanker in the Red Sea and pledged to take the matter to the United Nations.

Abolfazl Hassan Beigi, a member of the national security and foreign policy committee in Iran’s parliament, claimed on Wednesday that footage taken by cameras on the tanker points to the three countries, which are locked in a cold war with Iran.

“There are abundant documents and evidence of interference of certain governments in the attack against the Iranian oil tanker and they will be presented to the UN and the UN Security Council,” the lawmaker said, as quoted by Fars News, adding that those behind the attack should “pay the price” for their actions.
