A month of American-led airstrikes fail to prevent Yemen’s Iran-backed rebels from launching significant attacks, downing an American Reaper worth tens of millions of dollars.
‘While en route, both ships reported seeing explosions close by and the U.S. Navy accompaniment also intercepted multiple projectiles,’ Maersk says.
The attempt on Yank destroyer, foiled by an American warplane, is the first since the allied air strikes began against Houthi redoubts.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for what Iranian state press called a “terroristic” attack shortly after the blasts in Kerman, about 510 miles southeast of Tehran.
Attack imperils cargo and energy shipments coming through the Suez Canal and widens the impact of the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.
The State Department called the Iranian claims a ‘cruel lie that only adds to the suffering of their families.’
