US Kills Dozens Of Iranian Sailors Returning From India In ‘First Torpedo Strike Since WW2’
At least 80 are dead and dozens injured or missing at sea, while 32 were rescued by the Sri Lankan navy
A US military submarine attacked an Iranian naval vessel in the Indian Ocean on 3 March, killing at least 80 as the ship was returning from a maritime exercise in India.
Iranian Naval ship IRIS DENA, which had come to India on India’s invitation, for a joint naval exercise, has been bombed by USA’s torpedo while it was returning to Iran.
At least 80 dead.
“Yesterday, in the Indian Ocean … an American submarine sunk an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters. Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo. Quiet death. The first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War II,” US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced on Wednesday.
US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine called the attack an “incredible demonstration of America’s global reach.”
The Iranian warship, IRIS Dena 75, issued a distress call before it sank. The Sri Lankan navy rescued at least 32 out of 180 Iranian sailors who were on board.
