Iran says it has called off a planned operation against Ukraine, according to statements by a senior adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader. Mohsen Rezaei, described as a top military adviser to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, says Iran had completed preparations for attacks before the plan was scrapped. He links the change to an apology issued by Kyiv. The reports also describe a prior dispute that escalated tensions between the two countries. In late July, Ukraine was accused by Iran of attacking an Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea, an incident that killed one crew member. The cancellation is presented as following Kyiv’s subsequent apology, with Iran stating that its armed forces were ready to proceed before the decision to halt the strikes. The available accounts do not provide details about the nature or timing of the alleged preparations, who issued the apology, or whether Kyiv confirms or disputes Iran’s account. The reports therefore present Iran’s version of events, with limited independent verification included in the coverage.
