Kyiv says it targeted a Russian warship and vessels moving Iranian-linked military cargo, while Tehran and Moscow maintain the ship was carrying civilian goods. The incident has intensified direct Ukraine-Iran tensions rooted in Tehran's alleged support for Russia's drone war and raises the risk of retaliatory or diplomatic escalation.
