Iran dismisses US charge of drone attack on India-bound ship

Iran denied US allegations of drone attack on India-bound tanker off Gujarat coast, as the attacked ship reaches Mumbai port. Indian Navy's Explosive Ordnance Disposal team inspected the vessel and identified a drone attack, but further analysis is needed to determine the type and amount of explosive used. Iran rejected the claims, accusing the US of distracting from Israel's actions in Gaza. The Pentagon stated that the attack was carried out by an Iranian drone. The incident followed a series of drone and missile attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in the Red Sea in support of Palestinians in Gaza.
