"Submarine attack on Iranian warship off Sri Lanka leaves over 100 missing

An Iranian warship, the IRIS Dena, sank off the coast of Sri Lanka following a submarine attack, leaving at least 101 crew members missing and 78 wounded, Reuters reported on Wednesday.

It was unclear who was behind the attack on the ship, which sources confirmed has now sunk.

The navy source added, "At this point, 79 people have been rescued and taken to the hospital, with one in serious condition. Another 101 are believed to be missing."

Sri Lanka's defense ministry confirmed that a search operation is underway to locate the missing crew, approximately 25 miles south of the island. The injured sailors have been taken to a hospital in Galle, in the southern part of Sri Lanka.

The 180-crew frigate issued a distress call at dawn. Sri Lankan officials, including Foreign Minister Vajitha Herath, are coordinating efforts to assist."

This may be the first ship sunk by a submarine since the Falklands Island War. More FAFO for the Iranians.

What the bloody hell was an Iranian ship doing in Sri Lanka?

Did Iran disperse their navy to avoid getting it sunk? Are there any other Iranian ships out there looking for a friendly harbor to wait out the war?

That's too close to Diego Garcia for comfort.
Threat ELIMINATED.

OK thats cool. Torpedo might cost more than the ship but at least they work now.

The world is about to find out just how unprepared the U.S. is for another war in the Middle East. It's real easy to drop bombs and fire cruise missiles from a safe distance, but now the fun begins, and we get slowly sucked into another Republican war, which will likely look just like Iraq and Afghanistan.

Thanks for nothing, Republicans.

Listening to Trump explain his rationale for starting this war should make anyone listening feel very uncomfortable. He is going to run this war like one of his Atlantic City casinos.

And then Rubio says we decided to start the war before Iran did, because Trump thought they were going to attack first.

Jesus H. Christ almighty.

If you believe Trump started this war, then you haven't been paying attention for the last 45 years.

It will be going better for Ukraine once the Mullahs are tossed out of power.

Under the Geneva Conventions, you are required to rescue the crew of a ship that you sink during war. To leave them to drown is both illegal and depraved beyond belief.
The US military fights with zero morals. It is today's Nazi army.

Glug, glug.

It was unclear who was behind the attack on the ship, which sources confirmed has now sunk.

We sunk it. I saw the video of it being torpedoed. Hit the back half of the ship. Amazing it stayed afloat as long as it did.
