The UN has reportedly so far been unable to confirm Iran was involved in drone and cruise missile attacks on two key Saudi oil facilities in September.
Saudi Arabia said Iran was behind the attacks, which temporarily knocked out half of the kingdom's crude production.
But a leaked report by the UN's secretary general says investigators could not corroborate that the drones and missiles were of Iranian origin.
Iran denied any role and noted a claim of responsibility from rebels in Yemen.
The Houthi movement, which is aligned to Iran, said it retaliated for air strikes on Yemen by a Saudi-led coalition backing government forces in the civil war.
