A group of Ukrainian soldiers published a text message threat against Iran early Friday, vowing to burn more ships and calling on Iranians to 'hide as much as possible.' The message, attributed to an X post by commentator Yair Goldblatt, comes a day after a similar video threat from Ukrainian soldiers.
Ukrainian soldiers issued a new threat against Iran early Friday morning, publishing a text message that vows to 'burn more ships' and warns Iranians to 'hide as much as possible.' The message, which surfaced on X via commentator Yair Goldblatt, refers to an earlier ship attack and states: 'We will burn more, and not just that one.' The soldiers also invoke American cooperation, saying 'together with our American brothers, we have prepared you in the past, we are attacking you now, and will continue to attack you in the future.'
The threat is the latest in a series of hostile statements from Ukrainian military figures toward Tehran. On Thursday night, The Zioneer reported a video message from Ukrainian soldiers threatening Iran. Previous days saw a senior Ukrainian official warn of a '50-fold retaliation' and the Ukrainian army commander threaten an 'unprecedented response.' The statements come amid ongoing tensions between Ukraine and Iran over Iranian support for Russia's war effort.
The authenticity of the text message could not be independently verified, and it is unclear whether the soldiers are acting on behalf of the Ukrainian military or as individuals. The message was posted on the Friday morning of July 31, 2026, at 2:53 Jerusalem time.
