Iran has accused Ukraine of attacking one of its commercial vessels in the Caspian Sea over the weekend. According to Tehran, the attack killed at least one sailor and wounded another.
Iran described the strike as a blatant violation of the UN Charter. Furthermore, Tehran accused Israel of attempting to draw Europe into the war.
These latest attacks by Ukraine, combined with Saudi military strikes on Iran-backed Houthi targets in Yemen, represent a widening of the Middle East conflict.
