Iran rejects US claims on Tehran targeting tanker off India

Iran's foreign ministry rejects Washington's claims of a drone attack on a tanker off the coast of India being fired from Iran. The attack on a Japanese-owned chemical tanker occurred amid Huthi rebels' attacks in the Red Sea in solidarity with Palestinians. The Pentagon accused Tehran of the attack. Iran rejects the claims, calling them worthless and aimed at distracting public attention. The foreign ministry also criticizes UK Foreign Secretary's remarks branding Iran as a malign influence. Iran denies direct involvement in the Huthis' attacks.
