Iran firmly denies allegations from the US regarding a drone attack on a tanker off the Indian coast, dismissing the claims as "completely rejected and worthless." The US Pentagon had accused Tehran of orchestrating the attack, which targeted a Japanese-owned chemical tanker amid a series of strikes by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in the Red Sea. Iran's foreign ministry spokesman, Nasser Kanani, stated that such accusations aim to distract public attention and cover up the US government's support for Israel's actions in Gaza. Additionally, Iran criticized recent remarks by UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron, dismissing them as "repetitive" and "threadbare."
