SHANA � Iran's National Iranian South Oil Company (NISOC) denied a reported news of a terrorist attack on an Iranian oil pipeline in the southwestern province of Khuzestan.

On December 30, the Washington Post reported that a Sunni jihadist group has claimed to have blown up an oil pipeline in Iran�s southern Khuzestan province, the scene of other attacks by Arab separatists.

The report said an online video posted by Ansar al-Furqan claimed the attack and showed what it described as a pipeline near Omidiyeh.

The U.S.-based SITE Intelligence Group quoted the video on Saturday as saying: �This operation was conducted to inflict losses on the economy of criminal Iranian regime.�
