**Odd the wording in this article-[ Maritime Executive](https://maritime-executive.com/article/russia-claims-strikes-on-two-more-ships-near-odesa)**

> **Russia’s ministry of defense claims that its forces have struck two more ships near the port of Odesa,** along with shoreside infrastructure.
> 
> As the ministry often does**, it claimed that the vessels were carrying arms for Ukraine’s military.**
> 
> **Ukraine’s shipping corridor almost certainly serves the transport of arms,** but its civilian usage is just as important to the country’s economy.

**Russia claims they hit two ships carrying weapons.. In some sort of strange way of denying this reality the article says the corridor almost certainly serves the transport of arms, but, it’s also used for civilian imports. Sure.** **In a round about way the article is acknowledging Russia is hitting arms being transported..**

Tit for tat

> “Both sides have been taking aim at civilian grain ships in an effort to impose economic pressure and stretch the other side’s defenses.”

**Iran mentioned in the article**

> **Iran came close to joining the Russian campaign against Ukraine’s seaports,** according to the New York Times, in hopes of retaliating for the recent **Ukrainian strike on an Iranian vessel in the Caspian Sea. Diplomatic efforts appear to have headed off an escalation**

**Ukraine has been involved in the fighting against Iran**

> The two sides are already engaged in an indirect fight. **Ukraine has helped GCC nations to defend against Iran’s lower-end drones,** which are slow, numerous, and very familiar to Ukraine’s experts

**Lower end drones?**
