Iran's embassy denied that its armed forces had been involved in an explosion that struck a South Korean vessel in the Strait of Hormuz this week.
The blast and fire occurred on the Panama-flagged HMM Namu, a cargo ship carrying 24 crew members, on Monday.
US President Donald Trump later claimed that Iran had "taken some shots" at the vessel and urged South Korea to join American operations aimed at restoring normal shipping through the virtually closed waterway. - AFP
