Abbas Araghchi, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, stated in a message on the social media platform X that Ukraine's attack on an Iranian "commercial" vessel in the Caspian Sea is a "clear violation of the United Nations Charter" and declared that this action "cannot go unanswered."

In this message, Araghchi wrote that Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, by attacking an Iranian "commercial" ship that resulted in the death of an Iranian sailor, has attempted to draw Europe into the war "at the behest of Israel." The Islamic Foreign Minister added that in his phone conversations with Josep Borrell, the EU's foreign policy chief, and Sergey Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister, he emphasized that this action should not go unanswered.

Volodymyr Zelensky had previously announced that Ukrainian forces targeted ships in the Caspian Sea during long-range operations, which he claimed were being used to transport military cargo related to Iran.
