Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Sunday that a Ukrainian attack on an Iranian commercial vessel "cannot go unanswered," warning that Tehran would respond to the incident.
His comments came in calls with EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
"(Ukrainian President Volodymyr) Zelenskyy has attacked an Iranian commercial vessel, killing a sailor," Araghchi said on X.
He described the attack as "a blatant U.N. Charter violation," claiming that it was carried out "at Israel's behest to drag Europe into its war."
Araghchi said he conveyed Iran's position during separate phone calls with Kallas and Lavrov.
