US Sinks Iran Ship | 80 Killed As US Sinks Iran Ship Headed Back From India After Naval Exercise

At least 80 people were killed after a US submarine sank an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean, news agency Reuters said today. The warship, IRIS Dena, had participated in a naval exercise in India just weeks ago. IRIS Dena, a Moudge class frigate, also came to India in 2024 to participate in the multilateral naval exercise MILAN, the same exercise's 2026 edition from where it sailed home today when the US submarine attacked it. While the US has not confirmed the number of dead, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the submarine strike and touted it as evidence of America's global reach in its war on Iran.
