Summary
President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukrainian forces carried out long-range strikes in the Caspian Sea, hitting a Russian warship and vessels used to move Iran-linked military cargo.
Zelensky gave no operational details, but framed the attack as part of Ukraine’s effort to disrupt military shipments involving Iran.
The claim came a day after Donald Trump said Vladimir Putin had assured him Russia was not selling weapons to Iran and warned such sales would be "very bad" for Moscow.
Reuters separately reported US intelligence suspects Russian support may have aided Iranian drone attacks on at least two CIA facilities in March, though officials said no firm conclusion has been reached.
