US submarine sinks Iranian frigate.

The US has carried out a submarine torpedo strike that sank an Iranian warship off the south coast of Sri Lanka, according to the US secretary of defence. Pete Hegseth confirmed that the US was behind the deadly strike on an Iranian frigate that killed more than 80 people as it was sailing close to the Sri Lankan coast US submarine sank Iranian warship off Sri Lanka’s coast, Hegseth says.

Adding more about this from Rybar:

Torpedo Attack What lessons the sinking of an Iranian frigate teaches Our assumptions that the Iranian frigate "Dana" off the coast of Sri Lanka was sunk by an American nuclear submarine ultimately proved correct — the Pentagon's press service published footage of this attack. Based on the video, the ship took a torpedo hit in the stern, with the firing conducted from periscope depth just like in the good old days. Before this incident, nuclear submarines had only sunk warships during the Falkland War more than 40 years ago. What happened is clear evidence of why the concept of anti-submarine defense exists, both in terms of individual ship systems and as a comprehensive set of measures. Without it, lone ships at sea can be shot up with torpedoes just like in World War II. ❗️And one would very much like to believe that for some responsible officials, this footage becomes a reason to ask "how are we doing with anti-submarine warfare?" And to realize that anti-torpedo systems on submarines are outdated, and some surface ships (including those under construction) lack them entirely. Moreover, this problem has existed for over 20 years, and even under the previous Defense Ministry leadership it was discussed publicly. But years passed, and the relevant agencies took no real steps in this direction.

ANOTHER EPSTEIN REGIME WAR CRIME – PIRACY IN THE PACIFIC

A US attack submarine sank an Iranian frigate carrying a 180-man crew. 32 were rescued—by Sri Lankan authorities, not the attackers.

Iranian frigate IRIS Dena last month participated in an intl military exercise in India. While returning home—certainly not in combat readiness, especially not off the coast of Sri Lanka, a good week away from home without stops or operational delays, and in waters where hostilities were not supposed to be taking place—it was torpedoed by a US submarine serving the Epstein Regime terrorist syndicate.

US War Secretary Hegseth confirmed the attack, stating the submarine delivered a "quiet death" to the Iranian ship that "thought it was safe in international waters," and even bragged it was the first sinking of a ship by a submarine since WW2. (No, —it was the first since the Falklands War in 1982.) However... 

However, under Article 18 of the Second Geneva Convention, after a naval engagement, parties "shall, without delay, take all possible measures to search for and collect the shipwrecked." The official ICRC Commentary clarifies that violating this duty—failing to search for and collect survivors—may constitute the grave breach of wilful killing under the Geneva Conventions, when it leads to the death of protected persons. 

The US crew did nothing to rescue the survivors—completing its trifecta of war crimes: 

(1) attacking a vessel not engaged in hostile operations, 

(2) doing so in international waters far from any combat zone, 

(3) deliberately abandoning the survivors to die, constituting the grave breach of wilful killing.

In 1917, the US entered WW I because a German submarine sank a passenger ship. This time, the same country—now under an openly fascist, supremacist  regime—sank a military vessel whose crew could not have expected such a treacherous act.

Iranian ship was sunk 3,000 nautical miles from home, not on a combat mission. Make sure you understand what is happening.

Nearly 150 crew members of the IRIS Dena are missing, presumed dead.

Update:  Adding, about previous video Update:

Kanwal Sibal, retired Indian diplomat, former FM, on US sinking of the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena, on X: 

"The Iranian ship will not be where it was if we had not invited it to talk part in our Milan exercise. 

We were the hosts. 

I am told that as per protocol for this exercise ships cannot carry any ammunition. It was defenceless.

Iranian naval personnel had paraded before our president.

Attack by the US submarine was premeditated as the US was aware of the Iranian ship’s presence in the exercise to which the US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute, presumably with this operation in mind.

US has ignored India’s sensitivities as the ship was in these waters because of India’s invitation.

We are far from politically or militarily responsible for the US attack. 

Our “responsibility” is at a moral and human plane. 

A word of condolence by the Indian Navy (after political clearance) at the loss of lives of those who were our invitees & saluted our president would be in order."
