AGENCIES: The head of the Nato military alliance has said he is extremely concerned that tensions will escalate after an attack on Saudi oil facilities.

Jens Stoltenberg also said Iran was “destabilising the whole region”.

Earlier on Monday, the US released satellite images showing damage from the weekend’s “unprecedented” strikes, which it has pinned on Iran.

Iran denies involvement, with President Hassan Rouhani calling the attack a reciprocal act by the “Yemeni people”.

Yemen’s Houthi rebels – who are aligned with Iran – have claimed responsibility.
