June 13 (Bloomberg) -- Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter and a close U.S. ally, denied reports that it had agreed to allow Israel to use its airspace to raid Iran's nuclear facilities.

Saudi Arabia rejects "the violation of its sovereignty and the use of its airspace or territory by anyone to attack any country," the official Saudi Press Agency said late yesterday, citing an unidentified official at the Foreign Affairs Ministry. "It is more appropriate that Saudi Arabia should apply this policy to the authority of the Israeli occupation with which it has no relationship in any way."
