An Iranian sailor aboard the warship IRIS Dena told his father that US forces had issued two warnings asking the crew to abandon the vessel, according to a report by Iran , offering a new account of the moments leading up to the American submarine attack near Sri Lanka.
The account contrasts with Iran’s earlier claim that the ship was struck without warning. Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi had earlier alleged that the frigate was attacked in international waters “without warning”, describing the strike as an “atrocity at sea”.
