Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Iran\u2019s foreign ministry has dismissed Washington\u2019s claims that a drone attack targeting a tanker off the coast of India was \u201cfired from Iran\u201d as \u201cworthless\u201d, AFP reports.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s targeting of a Japanese-owned chemical tanker came amid a flurry of drone and missile attacks by Yemen\u2019s Iran-backed Houthi rebels in the Red Sea in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.<\/p>\n
