Blood feud! The Iranian warship had just participated in a multinational naval exercise held in India, and was then ambushed by an American submarine, with the death toll reaching over 100 people! On March 4, foreign media reported that today (March 4), the Iranian frigate "Eiris Dinah" sank near the southern coast of Sri Lanka. The frigate was sunk by an American submarine near Sri Lanka. Foreign media stated that the ship had just participated in a multinational naval exercise in India, and sank on its way back.
Currently, 32 severely injured crew members have been rescued, while 148 are still missing. Obviously, this ship was sunk, which is a major loss for Iran. Relevant information shows that the ship has a displacement of 1,300 tons and is the main warship independently developed by Iran. Why did the United States sink this ship? The main motives may be two: first, to retaliate against Iran's attacks on American warships and aircraft carriers, and the US seems to tell Iran that this is the fate of attacking American warships.
Secondly, this move by the United States clearly aims to weaken, even destroy Iran's navy, and strike Iran's ability to block the Strait of Hormuz and attack American oil tankers. This blow from the United States can be said to be brutal and underhanded. Attacking the Iranian warship during its return journey is a great humiliation for Iran, and the two sides have now formed a blood feud. The US seems to want to send a deterrent message to the world, making it clear that anyone who dares not follow the US, or dares to stand up to the US on the international stage, will end up like this Iranian warship. Of course, it is believed that Iran will not let this go easily.
