Iran Lashes Out at "Freeloader" Zelensky for Caspian Sea Attack
Iran has accused Ukraine of attacking an Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea, which it says resulted in an explosion that killed on sailor and injured another.
As we previously reported of the Saturday maritime incident, Ukraine seems to be openly boasting of this escalation. President Zelensky himself announced soon after on X, "We also have very good results from long-range strikes in the waters of the Caspian Sea. In particular, these are vessels that were involved in transporting military cargo from Iran, and a warship."
Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Ukraine’s chargé d’affaires in Tehran to severely protest the "hostile and criminal" attack on Saturday, IRNA reported. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has further warned that the "blatant UN Charter violation" which was "done at Israel’s behest" could serve to "drag Europe into its war". Araghchi also denounced and attacked Zelensky personally, calling him the "freeloader in Kyiv"…
