The United States says a submarine torpedoed and sank an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Sri Lanka. A video released by the Pentagon appears to show the moment the vessel was hit and exploded at sea. Sri Lanka’s foreign minister identified the ship as the IRIS DENA, an Iranian frigate that had recently taken part in the MILAN naval exercise in India. US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the strike and vowed sustained military pressure on Iran. The incident comes as the wider US-Israel conflict with Iran intensifies across the region with missile attacks, air strikes and rising tensions at sea.
