Iran condemned the US submarine attack that sank its naval frigate IRIS Dena in the Indian Ocean, calling it an attack on a “guest of India”. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the ship was returning from naval exercises in India when it was struck. “The US has perpetrated an atrocity at sea… Frigate Dena, a guest of India’s Navy, was struck in international waters without warning,” he wrote on X. The attack killed 87 Iranian sailors. More than 60 remain missing. Thirty-two survivors are being treated in a hospital in Galle, Sri Lanka. The United States said the strike was part of its campaign against Iranian naval forces. (PC: X)
