A regional monitoring channel reports that Iran intends to launch at least three long-range ballistic missiles at Ukraine within the coming days, in retaliation for the attack on an Iranian ship. The report is unverified and comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and Ukraine following the vessel incident. The claim follows earlier warnings issued in Ukraine about a possible Iranian ballistic missile launch.
A new report from a regional monitoring channel claims that Iran plans to launch at least three long-range ballistic missiles at Ukraine within the coming days, framing the attack as retaliation for the recent strike on an Iranian ship. The report, which is unverified, adds specific details to earlier warnings issued in Ukraine about a possible Iranian ballistic missile launch.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday, Ukrainian authorities issued warnings regarding the potential firing of ballistic missiles from Iran toward Ukrainian territory. The earlier report noted that the warnings followed a possible Iranian launch of three ballistic missiles toward Ukraine within two days. The new claim from the Arab Desk channel provides a motive: the attack on the Iranian ship, which Tehran reportedly views as a humiliation.
The ship strike, attributed to Ukraine, occurred in the Caspian Sea and has been described by regional sources as a significant escalation. Iran has previously threatened to target energy infrastructure in the Gulf states in response. The current report suggests a direct missile strike on Ukrainian territory, which would mark a new phase in the confrontation between Iran and Ukraine.
The claim remains unconfirmed, and no independent verification has been obtained. The timing and details of any potential attack are not yet clear.
