It was a mistake alright, just not by accident. Keep in mind they can hit Romania if they feel like it.

[2026-08-04] Sputnik — Major General Mohsen Rezaei, military adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, said Iran had prepared to strike three locations in Ukraine after the attack on an Iranian commercial vessel, but suspended the response after Ukraine claimed the attack was a mistake, Fars News reported.

“We had prepared to strike three locations in Ukraine,” Rezaei said, adding that Iran is reviewing Ukraine’s claim because Iran does not seek to expand the war.

He stressed that Ukraine must still face consequences for the attack.

“They must, in any case, pay the equivalent of their attack,” Rezaei said.

The remarks come after Ukraine attacked an Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea, killing one sailor and wounding another person.

[2026-07-26] Sputnik — Iran strongly condemned a Ukrainian military attack on an Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea, saying the strike caused an explosion on board, killed one sailor and wounded another person.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry said the attack violated Article 2(4) of the UN Charter and amounted to an aggressive act that could further spread war and insecurity.

The ministry stressed that Iran has never intervened in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and said the attack showed the Ukrainian regime’s continued “irrational and hostile” approach toward the Islamic Republic.

Iran also warned that it “will not hesitate to defend its national interests and security.”

“The responsibility for the consequences of the adventurism of the head of the Ukrainian regime will rest with that regime and its supporters and instigators,” the statement added.
