Yesterday, Washington Insider reported that Iran accused Ukraine of attacking an Iranian merchant vessel in the Caspian Sea, resulting in the death of one sailor; meanwhile, Zelenskyy hinted that Ukrainian forces had targeted a ship transporting military supplies. On Sunday, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi posted a statement accusing Zelenskyy and warning that this incident "would not go unanswered." Araghchi described the attack as an "open violation of the UN Charter" and claimed it was "instigated by Israel with the intent of dragging Europe into its war." He stated he had directly raised the issue with EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kallas and Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, demanding that Zelenskyy provide an explanation. Previously, Ukrainian intelligence agencies stated that their target was a sanctioned cargo ship carrying military equipment between Iran and Russia. In response, the Iranian Foreign Ministry reiterated Iran's neutral stance regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
