US sinks Iranian warship
Daily Post
|March 05, 2026
A US submarine sank an Iranian warship off the coast of Sri Lanka, and Sri Lanka's navy said on Wednesday it recovered 87 bodies and rescued 32 people.
-
The Iranian vessel that was sunk in the Indian Ocean was the Islamic Republic’s “prize ship’, US defence secretary Pete Hegseth said at a Pentagon news briefing.
Mr Hegseth said it was the first sinking of an enemy ship with a torpedo by the US since the Second World War.
Sri Lanka's foreign minister Vijitha Herath told Parliament that its navy received information that the Iris Dena, with 180 people on board, was in distress and sinking.
The island nation sent ships and air force planes on a rescue mission, he said.
