The New York Times, citing several unnamed Iranian and Western officials, reported that the Iranian government intended to respond to Ukraine's attack on an Iranian ship by attacking a port in Ukraine, but refrained from taking this action following diplomatic efforts.

The newspaper quoted these officials as saying that Iran was expected to launch a small warhead ballistic missile towards Ukraine in this attack to cause relatively minor damage and symbolically respond to Ukraine's attack. The officials stated that the target of the attack was likely one of the ports in Ukraine on the Black Sea.

According to this report published early Wednesday, August 7, officials of the Islamic Republic hoped that this conflict would end with their retaliatory strike, but Western officials warned that predicting how Ukraine would react was difficult.
