Iran rejects ‘baseless’ US claim about Iran targeting chemical tanker off Indian coast | Oneindia

On December 25, an Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson dismissed the Pentagon's assertion of Iran's involvement in an alleged attack on a chemical ship off the coast of India as "groundless." This response comes in the wake of the United States military accusing Iran of a drone strike on the Japanese-owned chemical tanker MV Chem Pluto, described as "Israel-affiliated." Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson, Nasser Kanaani, addressed the accusations during a briefing, categorically rejecting them as baseless.

He urged Washington to confront allegations related to its involvement in Israel's actions in Gaza instead.

Kanaani characterised the claims as a deliberate effort to deflect public attention and to conceal what he described as the American government's unequivocal support for Israel's actions in Gaza.

Khamenei's Fiery Ultimatum: Supreme Leader Warns Israel and U.S of Devastating Retaliation

In a passionate and defiant address, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has issued a stark ultimatum to Israel and the United States, threatening "devastating retaliation" for their continued military actions against Iran and its allies. Khamenei's remarks come in the wake of escalating tensions following Israel's recent strikes on Iranian military targets, which Iran claims resulted in significant casualties. As the region brims with uncertainty and fear of further conflict, Khamenei's warning serves as a potent reminder of the fragile balance of power in the Middle East. The implications of his threats could have far-reaching consequences, not only for Iran's relations with its adversaries but also for the stability of the entire region. With potential military responses looming, the international community watches closely, aware that any miscalculation could ignite a wider confrontation. #Khamenei #IranThreat #Israel #US #Retaliation #MiddleEastConflict #GeopoliticalTensions #IranianMilitary #WarThreat #MiddleEastCrisis #SupremeLeader #DefenseStrategy #RegionalInstability #DiplomaticRelations #AxisOfResistance ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.155~GR.344~
