Iran’s foreign ministry warned on Monday of “unforeseen” consequences following Ukraine’s attack on an Iranian vessel in the Caspian Sea over the weekend. “This action by Ukraine was an absolutely illegal and unjustified act, contrary to the Charter of the United Nations, as well as a dangerous act of adventurism that will certainly not go unanswered by us,” the ministry’s spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said in a weekly press briefing. The consequences of Ukraine’s action “will certainly be unforeseen,” he added.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Saturday that Kyiv had carried out long-range strikes in the Caspian Sea against vessels transporting military cargo involving Iran.

Iran said the attack had caused the Iranian ship “to explode, killing one sailor and injuring several others,” and warned that it would respond. “The Ukrainian regime must certainly be held accountable for it,” Baqaei said.

    The obvious question here is how Ukrainians were able to hit an Iranian ship in the Caspian Sea in the first place. It is no simple thing for Ukraine to track down a specific ship far away from its borders, and would require intelligence and satellite data which the US would be in a position to provide. Seems that it’s pretty clear that the US put Ukraine up to this.

    I dont’t know what they can do to Ukraine that Russia hasn’t done already. Maybe target things Russia has been avoiding? Like decision making.

      Its definitely already world war three.

      You have two “superpowers” currently at war (not directly with each other, but everyone else involved ties them together).

      Iran vs US and Russia vs Ukraine, but Iran is already helping Russia attack Ukraine with their drones and America is helping Ukraine attack Russia and now Ukraine attacks Iran. Even though the US is not attacking Russia directly and vice versa its all one big war at this point. And then you have Israel being Israel and attacking fucking everyone. It’s a cluster fuck.

    If Iran tries to destroy USA military bases in Ukraine, they need to destroy the whole country no?
