Iran's Foreign Ministry said that Tehran "strongly condemns the attack by the Ukrainian regime on an Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea early this morning. The attack led to an explosion on the ship, the death of one sailor and the injury of another sailor. The Ukrainian attack on the Iranian vessel is an act of aggression that threatens to ignite the fire and further expand its scope." Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at midday that his country carried out "long-range strikes in the Caspian Sea" as part of its war with Russia - including against vessels that were used for "military cargo shipments linked to Iran, as well as a warship."
