Iran’s navy showed off its new cruise missiles on Sunday (December 24), amid growing tensions on the region.
This footage from Iranian state television comes a day after the U.S. Department of Defense claimed that a drone launched from Iran had struck a chemical tanker in the Indian ocean early on Saturday (December 23).
That was the seventh Iranian attack on commercial shipping since 2021, the Pentagon statement said.
There were no casualties as a result of the attack and a brief fire on board the tanker was extinguished.
A spokesperson for the Iranian delegation at the United Nations did not respond to a request for comment.
The incident highlights escalating regional tensions and a new risk to shipping lanes.
That’s in the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel and Israel’s subsequent bombardment of Gaza.
Iran on Saturday denied U.S. accusations that it was involved in planning attacks by Yemen’s Tehran-aligned Houthi movement on commercial vessels in the Red Sea.

Wie würden Sie Ihren perfekten Abend in Gesellschaft von Freunden beschreiben?🧡
I don't start the day without you)💋
Good episode💚
Israel has killed many civilians, including aid workers, journalists and hostages. More than 20,000 Palestinians have lost their lives (mostly women and children).
Yasmin Porat survived October 7th and she stated that IDF killed Israeli captives (Haboker Hazeh radio program on 15 October 2023).
Israel bombed the third oldest church in the world (Gaza Greek Orthodox Church), civilian convoy, Rafah crossing, refugee camp etc. Israel used white phosphorus in civilian areas. Indiscriminate attacks are prohibited by the Geneva Conventions and customary international law.
In March 2019, Netanyahu told his Likud colleagues: "Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas… This is part of our strategy to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank."..
Shows a cruise missile ???? on thumbnail … Propaganda by Israel ? fact was a drone was launched near the Red Sea , most are shot down , this one got through and struck the ship , turned out it was heading to Israel and was flagged as an Indian ship … We learned now it was fuel for Israel and ammo
Do you want to bring India into the game? You always have images of everything… and now you show a little boat sailing.
😂😂😂
Hey word "claims"
Yea whatever Iran says don't believe them, as they also claimed that they weren't sending suicide drones to Russia 😂, but it was proven to be true, and then they have no choice but to admit it, now they are also claiming the same thing again.
India will do investigation on their own. USA clarification is not needed.
America involve this to cause a critical situation created in Arabia sea for own achieve war goals
Israel, America, Britain and Europe are the official sponsor of terrorism around the world
For your Information Indian Navy had Wiped out Pakistan Navy in Just 10 Day's during 1971 India vs Pak war. So Houthis Don't Mess with us.
