Tehran summons Ukrainian diplomats after Kyiv bombs Iranian ship

Iran has summoned Ukraine’s diplomats after Kyiv bombed an Iranian ship in the Caspian Sea, killing at least one sailor and wounding another.

Ukraine says it was targeting Russian vessels carrying Iran-linked military cargo, and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russia is assisting Iran in its military campaign in the Middle East, according to Al Jazeera.

Iran's Foreign Ministry said the incident violated the UN Charter. The ministry also said that Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi raised the issue in a phone call with the European Union's foreign policy chief, urging the international community and the UN Security Council to condemn the attack.

In a separate statement, the ministry warned that Ukraine's actions reflected a hostile stance towards Iran.
