Ukraine Strikes Iranian Ship in Caspian Sea

Iran accused Ukraine of attacking one of its commercial vessels in the Caspian Sea over the weekend, killing one person onboard and injuring another.

Tehran vowed retaliation, with an Iranian lawmaker warning that Ukraine could soon face consequences and that Iran does not leave actions unanswered.

Iran called the strike a 'blatant' violation of the United Nations Charter and accused Israel of attempting to draw Europe into the broader conflict.

The incident marked a significant geographical expansion of hostilities, occurring far from the main theatres of the Iran war.
