Ukraine says it will not widen conflict with Iran after Caspian Sea strike

Ukraine's U. S. ambassador said Kyiv has no intention of linking its war with Russia to the United States' conflict with Iran after a recent drone strike on an Iranian vessel in the Caspian Sea, USA Today reported.

The strike, which Ukraine said hit two cargo ships carrying Iranian military supplies, prompted Iran to summon Ukrainian diplomats, accuse Kyiv of aggression and warn of retaliation. Earlier, Ukrainian officials claimed long-range attacks had destroyed a Russian warship and Iranian-linked vessels in the Caspian Sea. Diplomatic talks were later held between the two sides to de-escalate tensions and avoid a direct military confrontation.
