Iran's foreign minister dismisses US claims of them backing Houthi rebels

Iran’s Foreign Minister denied that his country is helping Yemen’s Houthi rebels attack commercial ships travelling through the Red Sea, warning the waterway won’t be safe as long as Israel maintains its offensive in Gaza. His comments on Saturday come as the Pentagon said a one-way drone fired from Iran struck a chemical tanker in the Indian Ocean, raising the question of whether a new risk area is opening to global vessels.
