U.S. Officials Reveal Chilling Truth of Strike on Iran Girls’ School

At least 87 sailors were killed in the torpedo attack in international waters of the Indian Ocean, and the Sri Lankan Navy responded to Dénaand rescued 32 survivors, but 61 crew members are still missing. The United States did not respond to the call, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth bragged about the attack to reporters on Wednesday.

“A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters. Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo,” Hegseth said, calling it a “quiet death.” Following the attack, an Iranian tanker which was also near Sri Lanka, IRIS Bushehr, took refuge in the island country.

The sinking of the Déna seems to be part of Hegseth’s new policy ignore “stupid rules of engagement” and “hit them while they’re down,” and it raises the question of what the Trump administration would say if a country like Iran attacked a U.S. ship it knew was unarmed.
