- Iran's foreign minister blamed "false-flag operations" for the Damietta Port incident without providing evidence.
- Egypt says it is investigating the drone attack, while Yemen's Houthis denied involvement.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has suggested that "false-flag operations" were behind the targeting of two ships at Egypt's Damietta Port, while expressing support for Egypt's security.
In a post on X, Araghchi described Egypt as "an important friend and partner in the region" and said its security was of utmost importance to Iran.
Egyptian authorities confirmed that a drone damaged the vessels and said an investigation is under way. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, while Yemen's Houthis have denied any involvement.
Without providing evidence, Araghchi appeared to blame 'Israel', saying regional countries should remain vigilant against what he described as 'Israeli' plots and false-flag operations" aimed at undermining regional peace.
