Iran considered attacking Ukraine over ship strike in Caspian Sea, adviser to Khamenei claims

An adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader, Mohsen Rezaei, claimed that Iran had planned to strike three key targets in Ukraine in response to an attack on a ship transporting cargo between Iran and Russia in the Caspian Sea. However, these plans were abandoned after Kyiv allegedly apologized to Iran. The incident involved a Ukrainian strike on a vessel carrying sanctioned cargo, which Iran condemned as an act of aggression. Tensions appeared to ease after discussions between Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, during which Ukraine stated the attack was unintentional and aimed at countering Russian aggression. Araghchi reportedly requested compensation from Ukraine for the damage caused.
