South Korea's Foreign Ministry said an Iranian anti-ship missile was likely used in an attack on a cargo ship operated by HMM in the Strait of Hormuz earlier this month.
Iran's ambassador to South Korea, Saeed Koozechi, denied Tehran's involvement, saying Iran 'took no part' in the incident, according to Yonhap News.
The ministry announced the findings of an investigation into the May 4 attack, which caused a fire and damaged the ship's lower stern hull.
Debris analysis indicated components similar to those made in Iran, with warheads resembling Iranian Noor or Qader anti-ship missiles.
