🗣️ Iran and CENTCOM exchange accusations over drone attacks: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqhchi said: "The Americans have created a drone similar to our Shahed drone, called LUCAS, which is effectively identical to it. It is being used to strike targets in Arab countries. Israel may be behind the targeting of civilian sites in Arab countries to spoil relations with Iran".
CENTCOM responded: "Iranian Foreign Minister's claims that the US is using one-way attack drones to strike Gulf countries and then shifting the blame to Iran are false. Iranian forces have launched thousands of drones and missiles at neighboring states, targeting military positions, infrastructure, airports and other sites across the Gulf region".
