Iran's Foreign Minister Discusses Caspian Sea Vessel Attack With Ukrainian Counterpart
Abbas Araghchi raised the incident involving an Iranian vessel in the Caspian Sea during talks that also covered bilateral ties and regional security.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has met with his Ukrainian counterpart to discuss an attack on an Iranian vessel in the Caspian Sea, according to Iran's official news agency IRNA.
The meeting also addressed bilateral relations between Tehran and Kyiv, as well as broader security developments across Europe and West Asia, though specific details on the scope of those discussions were not disclosed.
Caspian Incident Raised in Talks
The attack on the Iranian vessel in the Caspian Sea, which Araghchi raised directly with Ukraine's top diplomat, adds a new dimension to the relationship between the two countries, whose ties have periodically been strained over Iran's alleged supply of drones and other military equipment to Russia during the war in Ukraine.
IRNA's report did not specify when the vessel attack occurred, the extent of any damage, or whether Ukraine has acknowledged responsibility or offered an explanation for the incident.
The Caspian Sea, bordered by Iran, Russia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, has become an increasingly sensitive waterway amid the broader war in Ukraine, given its use for shipping and its proximity to routes tied to Russia's military logistics.
No further details were immediately available on the outcome of the meeting or on any follow-up steps agreed between the two foreign ministers.
