US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has said an American submarine sank an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean, BBC reported.
He said the ship was sunk by a torpedo on Tuesday, and that it died a "quiet death".
Hegseth did not name the ship, but his announcement came after Sri Lankan officials said its navy had responded to a distress call from an Iranian ship on Wednesday morning named the Iris Dena, which had gone down about 40km (25 miles) from its southern coastline, according to BBC.
