Iran says Ukrainian attack on vessel in Caspian Sea killed sailor, condemns ‘act of aggression’

Iran’s Foreign Ministry condemns a Ukrainian attack on an Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea, saying it resulted in an explosion that killed one sailor and injured another.

Tehran describes the incident as an “act of aggression” and says it would defend its national interests and security, while accusing Ukraine of seeking to expand its war with Russia.

Ukraine’s forces struck a Russian warship and vessels used for transporting Iran-linked military cargo in the Caspian Sea, President Volodymyr Zelensky said earlier today.
