An Act of Heinous Aggression: Zelensky Celebrates, Iran Furious

Iran defines a Ukrainian attack in the Caspian Sea as "an act of heinous aggression" and calls on the Security Council to intervene. Zelensky welcomes the strike on a Russian ship and vessels used to transfer Iranian equipment. US intelligence suspects Russia is aiding Iranian drone attacks against CIA facilities.

Iran claims a Ukrainian attack on a commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea killed a sailor and wounded another, calling it "an act of heinous aggression" that violates the UN Charter. Tehran calls on the Security Council to intervene and accuses Kyiv of trying to expand the regional war. In contrast, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky praises a successful and precise operation that struck a Russian warship and vessels used for military and logistical shipments linked to Iran. The backdrop of hostility is the supply of Iranian drones to Russia, which have been used against Ukraine. Meanwhile, US intelligence suspects Russia is actively aiding Iranian drone attacks against CIA facilities in the Gulf, including a station at the US embassy in Riyadh and a site in Iraq, based on the level of precision and Russian technological support. The Caspian Sea is becoming another front in the global struggle.
