Iran’s foreign minister on Friday refused to acknowledge that Israel was behind the recent attack on his country and described the weapons that were used as more like children’s toys.
“What happened last night was not a strike,” the foreign minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, said in an interview with NBC News’ Tom Llamas. “They were more like toys that our children play with – not drones.”
Amirabdollahian, who spoke to NBC News in New York where he was attending a U.N. Security Council session, said Iran was not planning to respond unless Israel launches a significant attack.
“As long as there is no new adventurism by Israel against our interests, then we are not going to have any new reactions,” he said.
Sanctions over Iran’s actions were only announced like 3 days ago, and trade in the region is still pretty upset over the ongoing Houthi Situation, so this news probably won’t have much impact.
On the other hand, who knows what Oil Futures are going to do.
They are going to go up… That’s what they always do. People drive more in the summer, they go up. People stop driving for the fall, they go up. Winter too cold, they go up. Hottest winter in recorded history, they go up.
