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.

Orban Defies ICC Arrest Warrant, Welcomes Netanyahu with Full Military Honours in Hungary

Hungary has made a bold move by openly defying the International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. As Netanyahu received a grand welcome with full military honors in Budapest, Hungary announced its decision to begin withdrawing from the ICC. This comes as the ICC accuses Netanyahu of war crimes related to the Gaza conflict. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, a close ally of Netanyahu, has condemned the ICC’s actions, calling them politically motivated. With this controversial decision, Hungary becomes the first European Union nation to abandon the ICC, sparking outrage and diplomatic tensions worldwide.
