Leaders of the Iran-backed Houthi militia have told Saudi Arabian officials that they did not carry out the attacks on Saudi Aramco oil facilities and covered for Iran by claiming responsibility, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) quoted two Saudi Arabian officials who are in talks with the Houthis as saying on Sunday.

“The Houthis informed us that they did not carry out the operation on Abqaiq and Khurais, and they did not expect the gravity of what Iran has asked them to do by claiming the responsibility,” the WSJ reported one of the Saudi Arabian officials as saying.
