Hours after a torpedo from a US submarine sank an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Thursday claimed it struck a US tanker in the Gulf.
The Iranian state media said the US ship is currently on fire. The casualties are not known yet.
The development came after an American submarine torpedoed and sunk an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean — declaring it the first sinking of an enemy ship by torpedo since World War II.
The attack, carried out with a Mark 48 torpedo, was touted by US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth as evidence of America’s global reach in the ongoing conflict with Iran.
