Iran has dismissed US and UK demands to cease its support towards Houthi rebels and their attacks on Israeli-affiliated ships, labeling the accusations as unwarranted interference. The Iranian Navy deployed the Alborz destroyer to the Red Sea, emphasizing its commitment to the vital shipping lane. As tensions escalated on Sunday, the US military reported sinking three Houthi vessels in the Red Sea, resulting in 10 militant deaths.
