Iranian plan to attack Ukraine canceled after Kyiv apology

According to a top military adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Tehran had planned attacks against Ukraine that were ultimately canceled following an apology issued by Kyiv. Mohsen Rezaei disclosed during an interview with Iranian state television on Monday that Iran's armed forces had fully prepared for the operation prior to the cancellation.

The revelations highlight a previously undisclosed military contingency by Tehran targeting Ukraine, tied directly to diplomatic friction and subsequent reconciliation between the two nations represented by Kyiv's apology.
