Iran’s Foreign Ministry on July 25 strongly condemned a Ukrainian strike on an Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea, which left a crew member dead.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic strongly condemns the Ukrainian regime’s attack on an Iranian commercial ship in the Caspian Sea, which occurred in the early hours of Saturday. As a result, an explosion occurred aboard the ship, which left one sailor killed and another one wounded,” the ministry said in a statement.
The ministry added that this attack violates Article 2(4) of the United Nations Charter and constitutes an act of aggression.
Iran reserves the right to take measures in response to the strike on an Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea, the ministry stressed.
“Based on core principles and norms of the international law, particularly the right for legitimate self-defense, the Islamic Republic of Iran will not hesitate to defend its national interests and security,” it said.
The ministry emphasized that all responsibility “for consequences of the Ukrainian regime’s risky actions” will rest solely on Ukraine and its allies.
Earlier in the day, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on X that Ukraine had achieved “very strong results” with long-range strikes in the Caspian Sea, including against “vessels used in military cargo shipments involving Iran, as well as a warship.” He did not specifically identify the Iranian commercial vessel cited by Tehran.
Ukraine’s Security Service also said the sanctioned vessel transported military cargo between Iran and Russia — though it is not yet known who was supplying whom.
The strike came amid a heated confrontation between the United States and Iran. It also came right after President Donald Trump warned Russia and China against arming the Islamic Republic. It is thus quite possible that Ukraine acted on orders from Washington.
Following the warning from the Islamic Republic’s Foreign Ministry, Iranian media threatened to attack Ukraine with ballistic missiles.
“A gentle reminder to Mr. Zelensky: All of Ukraine is within reach of Iran’s ballistic missiles,” Middle East Spectator wrote on Telegram, along with a map showing the range of Iran’s “super-heavy” Khorramshahr-4 missiles.
“Although it would be a waste of good missiles,” the account added.
Iran has long maintained a policy of responding directly to attacks on its territory or people, and this has never been limited to its conflict with the U.S. and Israel. The Islamic Republic has been responding to Kurdish opposition armed factions in northern Iraq for years, and it once even launched a strike against terror groups taking shelter in nuclear-armed Pakistan.
Taking all of this into account, an Iranian retaliatory attack against Ukraine is highly likely. Such a response could also, in Tehran’s view, deter Kyiv from interfering in the ongoing confrontation between the Islamic Republic and the U.S.

wonderful, ukrainian shcools, hospitals and kindergartens will make great non civilian military targets for testing new iranian long range weapons. bombs away, burn baby burn, making ukraine like berlin 1945 again is a gift to the human race…hehehehe
no. only the zionist psychos in the west target hospitals, schools and kindergartens.
you’ve stupidly revealed the not so hidden secret of the west: to goad russia, iran etc into bombing such places for pr gain. of course while hiding your own crimes doing exactly that. congrats on kicking an “own goal”.
obviously, with that plan someone in the west wants a one way ticket to nuclear armageddon. probably one of those evangelical zionist nutjobs surrounding trump and planning for the rapture.
arrebatamento de merda nunca vai existir isso
whats the problem? ask any westerner they will tell you russia is allready only bombing hospitals and kindergartens. its no difference if they do or not they will still be persecuted.
not just zionists but all their race is becoming a target. we all know what happened last time, only this time you dealing with limitations and best tech.
look at the isrealis wars. the entire planet is protecting them. what are you dreaming of. an attack on isreal would unite nato and brics in defence of it. china would even send their military to protect them.
not just zionists but all their race is becoming a target. we all know what happened last time by romans, only this time you dealing with no limitations and best tech.
ukraine is washington washington is ukraine get it
and more. do not omit banking cabals, other international organisations and assimilated proxy governments
ukraine is washed up. washington? still up in the air.
globalists fear caspian sea supply routes. so now ukraine proves its international status as a proxy vehicle. this consolidation of open declaration of ww3. guess what nation provided arms and targeting ?
ukraine is basically a mercenary nation since years. nothing there works without western support. the entire economy and administration is funded and lead from the west. the ukrainians are just the face of an east-wehrmacht of the eu.
i knew it some day the ukros were going to mess with iran
now the shitshow is complete
the ukronazis and the islamist throat slitters are a foreign legion for the jooz and the amerikunts. the jooz and the amerikunts are behind all the fake “terrorism” in the world.
you just said the big secret that mainline news will never say cause they work for them to
they’re trying to ingratiate themselves with trump now that they think they’ve mesmerized him with illusions of winning. mostly through loopy laura loomer but they’re not beyond giving bj’s like poland does, according to sikorsky.
give them credit for the laura loomer operation. was probably hard for zelinsky to not kill her after saying so many bad things about ukraine before.
this is the last breath of a dying terrorist: he want to everything is dying with him.
so no worry: the dying pig will die just faster now.
haha, the caspian sea will no longer be safe for russian pigs; soon, we in iran will be hunting russian pigs too.
the shah will not return ever.
you clowns are real pork lovers by the sounds of it. 😵💫 💩 🖕
anywhere that hosts amerikunt military bases just becomes a big missile magnet! heheheh
iran needs to bitchslap ukraine.
“it would be a waste of good missiles…” love that humor, even though it quite accurate. ukraine would never notice another missile amongst the ones dropping all over them anyway. maybe gift one to zelensky anyway.
iranians dont have the putin handbook which russian oligarch investments cannot be hit in ukraine and which jewish real estate cannot either.
much ukie nazi jizz pumped in my americunt anuz yesterday derp incel
zelensky told laura looper that if he came to kiev, he would dress up as a woman and pleasure him like he’s never been pleasured before.
iranians have on sight the ukrainian embassies in gulf states
so this ‘long range strike’ (missile, drone ?) was initiated from the territory of what is now ukraine ??
there’s other countries in between and no attempt at intervention of this ‘strike’ weapon ? when a country like syria ends up being led by a foreign indoctrinated halfwit surrounded by likewise criminals, any absurdity is possible.
aliev and tokaiev as well – who just like erdogan was saved by russia in the past when the west wanted them dead – has given isreal and ukraine bases to kill russians and iranians with hoping for this to be an entrance for him into eu/ nato. russia should stop providing any help without clear alliances.
just like the northern nations the caspian ones are launching pads for “ukranian” attacks on russia as well.
only that the caspians are launching pads for attacks on iran too.
foi um erro salvar a vida de erdogan
i am sorry. really sorry but the fact that the ukrainians now want to enforce western sancions in the capian is enough. destroy kiews government center. would be ironic if iranians would do what russians cant cause they promissed isreal …
olha um alvo aí:
