Iranian MFA: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran strongly condemns the action of the Ukrainian regime in attacking an Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea early Sunday morning.

This action constitutes a violation of Article 2, Paragraph 4 of the UN Charter and is an act of aggression that can further fuel and expand the conflict.
