Iran on Wednesday reportedly warned against any retaliatory action following attacks on Saudi oil facilities, saying such a move would “immediately” be met with a response.

Iran's state-run news agency reported that Tehran sent a note through Swiss diplomats in which it denied any responsibility for the attacks, according to The Associated Press.

“If any action takes place against Iran, the action will be faced by Iran’s answer immediately,” the note said, according to IRNA. Additionally, the note said Iran's response would not be limited to the source of the threat.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif are also reportedly considering skipping next week's meetings at the United Nations General Assembly amid fallout from the attacks.

Tensions have been high in the region since multiple attacks took out two major Saudi oil processing facilities, impacting more than 5 percent of the global supply.

Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have claimed they are responsible for the attacks, but the United States has blamed Iran.

“Almost certainly it’s Iranian-backed,” Prince Khalid bin Bandar, Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, told the BBC. “We are trying not to react too quickly because the last thing we need is more conflict in the region.”
