Iran condemns alleged Israeli drone attack on Gaza-bound aid ship

Tehran, May 4 (UNI) Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei on Saturday condemned a drone attack, allegedly carried out by Israel, on a ship carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza.
He referred to an incident reported by the international non-governmental organization Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which said its Gaza aid ship "Conscience" was bombed by drones in international waters off the coast of Malta early on Friday, blaming the strike on Israel.
In a statement released by his ministry, Baghaei said the attack on the ship was carried out in line with Israel's plan against the Palestinians and to ensure the continuation of the Gaza aid blockade, calling it "a clear crime against Palestinians and a terrorist action against maritime security and safety".
