Ukraine’s foreign minister says ⁠he called his Iranian counterpart following Tehran’s denunciation of a Ukrainian drone attack on one ⁠of its ships, warning him against escalation. In a post on X, Araghchi wrote that “Iran does not seek escalation either, but made clear any attack on our citizens or interests is unacceptable”. Araghchi said on Sunday that the Ukrainian attack on an Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea, which killed one sailor and injured another, “cannot go unanswered“. Ukraine said it had targeted a Russian warship and vessels used for transporting Iranian-linked military cargo in the Caspian Sea. “Ukraine, too, may soon come to understand that Iran does not let actions go unanswered,” Azizi added, calling the attack in the Caspian Sea “miscalculated”.
