On July 26 local time, Iran's Foreign Minister Ebrahim Raisi posted on social media, stating that 'Ukraine's President Zelenskyy attacked an Iranian merchant ship', resulting in the death of a crew member. This action blatantly violates the United Nations Charter and was carried out under the instigation of Israel, with the aim of dragging Europe into war.
Alагузи said that in a conversation with the European Union's High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy, Catherine, and Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, it was made clear that the actions of 'that person who gets everything for free' in Kiev will 'certainly be responded to'.
On that day, Ibrahim Azizi, Chairman of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Policy of the Iranian Islamic Parliament, posted a statement on social media, saying that any attack against Iran comes at a cost. This is still true today. Both the United States and Israel are very aware of this. “Ukraine may soon understand that Iran will not ignore any actions.” The list of those who misjudge the situation continues to grow.
In the early hours of the 25th, the Ukrainian military attacked an Iranian merchant ship in the Black Sea, resulting in an explosion that caused one crew member to die and another to be injured.
Zelenskyy said on social media that the Ukrainian side "has achieved very significant results in remote strikes in the Caspian Sea, including ships used to transport Iranian military goods, as well as one military vessel."
Regarding this, the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned it, stating that Ukraine must 'take responsibility', and that Iran has the right to take countermeasures in response to Ukraine's attacks.
The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also summoned the chargé d'affaires of Ukraine in Iran regarding this matter.
