TEHRAN: Iran’s UN envoy, Amir Saeid Iravani, asserted on Tuesday that Iran has not been engaged in any actions or attacks against US military forces, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency.
US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, in a briefing with reporters on Monday, stated that Washington has “every reason to believe that these attacks, while launched by the Houthis in Yemen, are fully enabled by Iran.”
The Houthis claimed responsibility for launching drone and missile attacks against what they identified as two Israeli vessels in the area. In response to distress calls from the commercial vessels, the US Navy destroyer Carney reportedly shot down three drones. The US military has indicated that the three attacked vessels were linked to 14 separate nations.
