Teiresias the blind prophet is the person whom Theban King Oedipus thinks is framing him. The reason lies in the prophet's identification of Oedipus as the very criminal that's supposed to be identified and punished with death or exile. Specifically, this criminal is the mysterious, long-ago murderer of Theban King Laius. As far as Oedipus knows, he never met his royal predecessor. So he draws the conclusion that Teiresias has the ulterior purpose of making Oedipus lose his job, and possibly his life, so that Theban King Creon may rule alone.
Yes, Theban King Oedipus thinks that Teiresias the blind prophet is framing him for the murder of the previous king of Thebes. Oedipus thinks that he knows himself and his life very well. He knows of having committed a murder before arriving in Thebes. But it's unthinkable to him that the surly individual whom he kills in a street brawl over the right of way at a crossroads may have been a king. So he concludes that Teiresias is lying, for self advancement, in saying that the murderer of Theban King Laius is the current sovereign of Thebes.

Creon is the person whom Oedipus assumes to be behind Teiresias' claims in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet says that Theban King Oedipus is King Laius' killer. Oedipus is angered, horrified and terrified at being charged with killing someone whom he never remembers meeting and for which the penalty is execution or exile. He therefore assumes that the claim is made up so that Creon, who stands the most to gain with Oedipus' overthrow, is behind Teiresias' charges.
