“The US committed a monstrous crime at sea, 2000 miles away from Iran. The frigate ‘Dena’, which was visiting the Indian Navy with nearly 130 crew members, was attacked in international waters without any warning. Remember my words: the US will bear responsibility for this precedent,” wrote Araghchi on his social media account on X.
According to information received the day before, a US submarine attacked the Iranian frigate ‘Dena’ off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, in international waters of the Indian Ocean. Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth confirmed: “The American submarine sank the Iranian military vessel that was safely in international waters.” According to Sri Lankan authorities, 87 people died as a result of the strike, 32 were rescued, and another 60 are reported missing.
