US submarine sank Iranian warship in Indian Ocean with torpedo, Hegseth says
- In the Indian Ocean, the Iranian warship was sank by a U.S. submarine on Tuesday night, U.S. officials confirmed.
- The operation followed a broader U.S. military campaign against Iran, with top U.S. and Israeli commanders coordinating after planning that began three weeks ago.
- Gen. Dan Caine said a U.S. Navy fast-attack submarine fired a single Mark 48 torpedo, while Sri Lanka's navy recovered 87 bodies and rescued 32 people.
- Hegseth said the Tuesday night strike was the first such attack on an enemy since World War II, prompting vessel reroutes and maritime warnings in the Indian Ocean.
- Analysts say the strike shows the campaign extending beyond Iran's shores as Iran’s death toll reaches at least 1,045, while Admiral Brad Cooper declared, `We are sinking the Iranian navy — the entire navy`.
