Citing a senior military source, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) said the Iranian armed forces had no premeditated plan to attack the aforementioned oil facilities.

Authorities in Fujairah said on Monday that a fire broke out at the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone, accusing the Islamic Republic of Iran of launching a drone strike.

“What happened was a product of the US Army’s adventurism to create a corridor for the illegal passage of ships through the prohibited waterways of the Strait of Hormuz,” the source stated.
