Original Note:
Although the aerial drone that hit the commercial tanker was identified as an Iranian Shahed-136 UAV, it’s not confirmed that the drone was launched from Iran. This type of drone is regularly launched from Yemen by the Houthis. https://www.centcom.mil/MEDIA/NEWS-ARTICLES/News-Article-View/Article/3225713/us-navy-analysis-confirms-iranian-link-to-drone-attack/ https://www.armyrecognition.com/iran_unmanned_ground_aerial_vehicles_systems/shahed-136_loitering_munition_kamikaze-suicide_drone_iran_data.html
