Iranian military officials announced Sunday that a deadly submarine attack by United States forces resulted in the deaths of at least 104 personnel, with an additional 32 injured, when their naval vessel was struck in waters near Sri Lanka last week.
According to Iranian army reports, an American submarine destroyed the frigate Dena while it was positioned approximately 19 nautical miles from Galle, a major port city on Sri Lanka’s southern coastline. The Wednesday incident in the Indian Ocean claimed the lives of numerous naval personnel and marks a significant escalation in the United States’ military actions against Iran’s maritime forces.
