To understand why Ukraine attacked an Iranian ship in the Caspian Sea, you need to understand something I call the Caspian Corridor.
This is a mechanism that no one in the mainstream media is connecting for you in any systematic way.
Before the war, Iran was a primary supplier of Shahed drones to Russia and Ukraine.
You remember, right? Those Shahed one hundred and thirty-six drones flying in swarms into Ukrainian cities? Iran manufactured them.
But after nearly six months of continuous bombing by the United States and Israel since February twenty-eighth, Iran's weapons stockpiles have been devastated.
The White House claims to have destroyed eighty-five percent of Iran's defense industrial base, and this is where everything flips.
Russia is shipping TNT explosives, ammunition, upgraded UAV components, and critically, this includes Russia's Kometta anti-jamming antennas to Iran.
It gets packed into ballistic missile warheads and suicide drones so Iran can keep fighting.
This is Russia's cutting-edge electronic warfare technology that allows drones and missiles to penetrate Western electronic defense systems.
When Iran receives Kometta, their drones and missiles become far harder to intercept.
Many of these ships are under US and EU sanctions or operated by the Russian shipping company MG Flot.
More than twenty ships carrying explosives, carrying ammunition, carrying drone components, and Kometta anti-jamming antennas running back and forth continuously like a wartime conveyor belt between two nations, and the West cannot do anything about it.
Why? Because the Caspian Sea is a closed inland body of water governed exclusively by five literal states, Russia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Azerbaijan.
