Tehran rejects claims of strike on Saudi military airbase in Kharj Iran has denied reports that it launched an attack on the Al-Kharj airbase in Saudi Arabia, with state broadcaster IRIB quoting a military official as saying that “Iran has not fired any shots” at the facility. The official was responding to reports of an explosion at or near the base. The denial came after Saudi Civil Defence issued a public warning through its emergency alert system for Al-Kharj Governorate, cautioning residents about a potential danger.
