DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says a torpedo from a U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship.
In a Pentagon briefing on Wednesday, Hegseth said that the Tuesday night strike on an Iranian warship was the first such attack on an enemy since World War II.
“An American submarine sunk an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters,” Hegseth said. “Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo.”
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Wednesday that the United States is winning its war against Iran “decisively, devastatingly and without mercy.”
