On Sunday, Biden\u2019s diplomats reported Iran attacked the Israeli managed ship Mercer Street, which was traveling in international waters in the Arabian Sea.<\/p>\n<p>The department added it condemned the attacked and joined U.S. allies in opposition to Iran\u2019s move. Two crewmembers, a British and a Romanian crew member, died in the attack.<\/p>\n<p>The attack was undertaken by a so-called suicide drone. Iranian officials have denied their involvement by claiming it was both a distraction and provocation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe see these distractions every once in a while, especially when good things are happening in the region,\u201d expressed Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh of the Foreign Ministry of Iran. \u201c\u2026The regime occupying Jerusalem has brought with it insecurity, violence, terror and war wherever it has gone, and for this reason those responsible are those who have brought this regime to the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We join our partners and allies in our strong condemnation of the Iranian attack against the Mercer Street and will be working with our partners to consider our next steps. We offer our condolences to the families of the victims. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4mjSziG3FE\">https:\/\/t.co\/4mjSziG3FE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ned Price (@StateDeptSpox) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StateDeptSpox\/status\/1421891389269364742?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 1, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The State Department said the attack was unjustified and threatened commercial navigation in the crucial waterway.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/rep-issa-there-could-be-a-new-america-by-popular-revolt\/\">Rep.
