Iran Accuses Israel of Attacking Civilian Targets in Persian Gulf Using US Drones

Iran has accused Israel of conducting attacks on civilian targets in the Persian Gulf region, claiming that American drones were used in the operations. The Iranian government has denied that the attacks targeted residential areas, contradicting earlier reports about strikes on civilian neighborhoods. The accusations mark an escalation in tensions between Iran and Israel, two regional rivals that have been engaged in a prolonged shadow conflict across the Middle East. The Persian Gulf has become an increasingly contested area as both countries vie for regional influence, with Iran viewing Israeli operations in the region as a direct threat to its security interests.
