Iran rejects Israeli claim it was behind tanker attack off Oman

Israel has pointed the finger at Iran for an attack that killed two crew members, an accusation Iran denies.

Tehran, Iran – The Iranian government has rejected a claim by Israel that it was behind an attack on a ship off Oman earlier this week that killed two crew members. Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh condemned the allegations during a virtual news conference on Sunday, saying this was not the first time Israel has made such claims. “Wherever this regime has gone, it has brought with itself insecurity, terror and violence. Those responsible [for this attack] are the ones that allowed the Israeli regime to set foot in this region,” he said.
