Official Tehran issued a severe warning to the countries that support Ukraine, blaming them for the attack on the Iranian merchant ship in the Caspian Sea. As a result of the incident, there are human losses, and the Iranian side declares its readiness to take tough retaliatory measures.
As reported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic, last Saturday the Ukrainian armed forces carried out a targeted attack on a commercial ship. As a result of this military attack, one crew member was killed and another sailor was injured.
The official representative of Iran’s Foreign Ministry, Ismail Baghai, emphasized during the briefing that this incident will not go unanswered under any circumstances. According to him, all those states that act as patrons and main allies of Kiev should fully share the burden of responsibility for what happened.
Earlier, in a lengthy statement published on the official telegram channel of the ministry, the diplomatic department stressed that Tehran reserves the full and unconditional right to resort to appropriate retaliatory actions, and the full weight of the consequences of this “adventure” will fall entirely on the Ukrainian leadership and foreign partners supporting it.
