ISLAMABAD: The attack on Saudi Arabia&#39;s Aramco oil facilities this morning was carried out by the Israelis and is an example of a &quot;false flag&quot; operation, Iran&rsquo;s semi-official news agency reported on Monday.&nbsp;The strike earlier in the day was deliberately designed to frame other regional actors and inflame tensions across the Gulf, Tasnim news agency said, quoting an &ldquo;informed source.&rdquo;&nbsp;He maintained that Tehran has been transparent about its response strategy.&nbsp;&ldquo;Iran has clearly announced that it will target all American and Israeli interests, installations and facilities in the region, and it has acted accordingly. However, Aramco facilities have not been among the targets of Iranian operations so far,&rdquo; the source said.&nbsp;According to the source, intelligence assessments indicate that the alleged Israeli operation aimed to portray Iran as a destabilizing force while diverting attention from Israeli actions inside Iranian territory.&nbsp;He further warned that the port of Fujairah Port in the United Arab Emirates could potentially be targeted in additional &ldquo;false flag&rdquo; attempts intended to deepen mistrust among Gulf states.&nbsp;There was no immediate comment from Israeli or Saudi officials regarding the allegations.&nbsp;Mossad agents arrested in GulfSeparately, US media personality Tucker Carlson said on his program, The Tucker Carlson Show, that authorities in Qatar and Saudi Arabia had detained alleged agents linked to Mossad who were reportedly planning bomb attacks.&nbsp;Carlson questioned the logic of Israel allegedly conducting operations in Gulf countries that are also facing tensions with Iran.&nbsp;He further suggested that Israel&rsquo;s broader strategic objective may extend beyond Iran to include exerting pressure on several Gulf states, including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman and Kuwait.
