Washington: There is a big war going on between America and Iran. Iran has suffered a major setback in this war. An American submarine sank an Iranian ship in the Indian Ocean. US Defense Minister Pete Hegseth has made a big claim regarding this. According to Pete Hegseth, this is the first time since World War II that America has sunk an enemy ship with torpedoes. However, he is wrong and perhaps he wanted to say that a US Navy submarine has sunk a ship for the first time. Hegseth said that the Iranian ship was considering itself safe in international waters, but the American submarine targeted it with a torpedo and sank it in the sea. Hegseth described it as a ‘quiet death’ and said it was a rare occurrence in modern naval warfare. However, in history, other countries have sunk ships with torpedoes even after World War II.
