Iran says Saudi attack claimed by Yemen rebels justified

Iran said Monday that the missile-and-drone attack on major Saudi oil sites was an act of "legitimate defense" by Yemen's Iran-allied Houthi rebels.

The September 14 assault was claimed by the Houthis, though Saudi Arabia says it was "unquestionably sponsored by Iran."
Iran denies being responsible and has warned any retaliatory attack targeting it will result in an "all-out war."
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told "60 Minutes" in an interview that aired on Sunday that "only a fool would attack" major Saudi oil sites and urged "strong and firm action to deter Iran."
Speaking to a group of Iranian expatriates in Frankfurt, Germany, during a stopover Sunday on his way home from attending the UN General Assembly in New York, Zarif said Europe had been trying "for five months" to create a credit line for Iran to sell its oil, "but it has failed to manage even such a minor job."
