* Houthi's claim 'implausible' - UK officialNEW YORK, Sept 23 - .
"We will be working with our American friends and our European friends to construct a response that tries to de-escalate tensions in the Gulf region," he said. The United States is aiming to avoid war with Iran and additional troops ordered to be deployed in the Gulf region are for"deterrence and defense", U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Sunday.
"The sophistication points very, very firmly to Iranian involvement and I think it is implausible that that wouldn't have been authorised by the Iranian government," the official said.
