Iran threatens massive retaliation after US sub sinks warship in Indian Ocean
A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship in international waters of the Indian Ocean, prompting threats of retaliation from Tehran targeting military and economic infrastructure across the Middle East. The incident, marking the first torpedo sinking of an enemy ship since World War II, led to heightened tensions as Israel faced projectiles from Hezbollah, prompting defensive and offensive military actions. The conflict disrupted travel, with Americans advised to use longer evacuation routes due to restricted Israeli airspace, drawing criticism over the lack of an evacuation plan. The situation remains fluid, with conflicting statements from U.S., Israeli, and Iranian officials.
