TEHRAN, Iran, Nov 26 (NNN-TASNIM) – A senior Iranian security official said, Iran has thwarted a plot to blow up Iranian oil pipelines, in the energy-rich Asalouyeh region, in the south of the country.
The Iranian “enemy” masterminded the plot, to attack the Asalouyeh energy facilities, amid the recent violent “riots” in a number of Iranian cities, over gas price hike, Ali Shamkhani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, was quoted as saying.
Shamkhani did not elaborate on a particular country, or an entity, that sought sabotage against the Iranian oil facilities.– NNN-TASNIM
