Islamic Republic of Iran Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Strong condemnation of Ukraine's military attack on Iranian merchant ship in the Caspian Sea
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran strongly condemns the Ukrainian regime's attack on an Iranian merchant vessel in the Caspian Sea on the morning of Saturday, August 25, which caused the ship to explode, killing one sailor and injuring another. This action violates Article 2, Paragraph 4, of the United Nations Charter and is an example of an act of aggression that can further ignite and spread the flames of war.
The Ukrainian regime's attack on an Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea, which has been explicitly claimed by the head of that regime, is a sign of the continuation of the Ukrainian regime's irrational and hostile approach towards the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The Islamic Republic of Iran, emphasizing that it has never intervened in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, draws the attention of the United Nations Security Council, European countries and all members of the United Nations to the obvious fact that the Ukrainian regime, by attacking an Iranian merchant vessel, not only committed an international violation, but also dangerously seeks to spread the flames of war and insecurity.
Any party concerned about peace and security in Eastern Europe and the surrounding regions must take a responsible stance against this dangerous action by the Ukrainian regime and hold the Ukrainian ruling body accountable for this criminal and provocative action.
The Islamic Republic of Iran will not hesitate to defend its national interests and security in accordance with the fundamental principles and rules of international law, especially the principle of self-defense. Obviously, the responsibility for the consequences of the adventurism of the head of the Ukrainian regime will lie with that regime and its supporters and instigators.
