Ukraine Denies Iran's Retaliatory Threats After Caspian Sea Attack

Tehran. Ukraine has denied Iran's retaliatory threats following an attack on an Iranian cargo ship in the Caspian Sea. The incident on Saturday is considered to have established the first direct link between the Ukraine-Russia war and regional tensions involving Iran.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on social media platform X that Iran's threats were baseless and inappropriate. According to him, Tehran has been directly assisting in the attack on Ukraine by providing weapons to Russia since 2022.
