- A torpedo fired by a U.S. Navy fast-attack submarine sank an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean on Tuesday night, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Wednesday at the Pentagon.

- Following the strike, U.S. officials said more forces, including jet fighters and bombers, are arriving while munitions remain ample and C-17 transport planes aid evacuations of Americans in the Middle East.
- Adm. Brad Cooper said at least 17 Iranian naval vessels have been sunk, and Gen. Dan Caine noted `And their one-way-attack drone shots are down 73% from the opening days`.
