Ukraine strikes Iranian vessel in Caspian Sea, killing one sailor as Iran vows response
Ukraine attacked an Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea on Sunday, killing one sailor and injuring another, according to Iranian officials . Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of acting at Israel's behest to drag Europe into the war. Araghchi warned that the attack "cannot go unanswered" and said he had conveyed this message to EU High Representative Kaja Kallas and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov .
The Iranian Foreign Ministry summoned Ukraine's chargé d'affaires in Tehran and delivered a formal protest over what it called a "hostile and criminal" attack . The ministry described the strike as a violation of Article 2(4) of the UN Charter and an act of aggression that risked spreading the Russia-Ukraine war. Araghchi urged the European Union, the UN Security Council, and the wider international community to take "decisive" action and hold both the perpetrators and their supporters accountable .
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that Ukrainian forces had struck a Russian warship and vessels used to transport military cargo linked to Iran in the Caspian Sea . Zelensky did not address Iran's accusation of Israeli involvement but stated that the targeted ships were involved in military cargo shipments.
Meanwhile, a civilian cargo ship sank in the Black Sea near Odesa after being struck by Russian missiles on July 19 . The vessel, which was transporting grain, had remained afloat following the initial attack but later succumbed to extensive structural damage. Ukrainian authorities said the incident highlights the continuing risks facing civilian shipping as Russian attacks on Ukrainian port infrastructure persist .
Ukrainian officials are expected to continue assessing the circumstances surrounding the sinking while monitoring navigational safety in the affected area. Commercial shipping through Ukraine’s export corridor continues, although operators remain cautious as military activity persists near key ports .
Iran's state-affiliated media intensified the warning, citing the range of Iran’s ballistic missiles and asserting that all Ukrainian territory was within reach .
In a separate development, Greek shipping carve-out on Russia sanctions prompts EU rethink. European officials seek ways to curb veto tactics in negotiations, according to a report from the Financial Times .
