⭕️ Araghchi warned the U.S. would “bitterly regret” the precedent set by attacking a defenseless Iranian vessel and killing more than 100 sailors. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told NBC News the Iranian naval vessel IRIS Dena, torpedoed and sunk by a U.S. submarine on March 4, was unarmed... at the time of the attack. He described it as a “navy training vessel” carrying nearly 130 trainee officers and sailors returning from MILAN 2026 and the International Fleet Review 2026 naval exercises hosted by the Indian Navy. Araghchi called the strike — which U.S. War Secretary Pete Hegseth celebrated Wednesday as a “historic” achievement — a “war crime” and an “atrocity at sea.” Later, an explosion struck the Bahamas-flagged oil tanker Sonangol Namibe off Kuwait on March 5. The IRGC said it hit a “U.S. oil tanker.” Araghchi told NBC that Iran is not targeting tankers, but some nine vessels have already been hit and traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has largely halted, with the U.S. attack now setting a precedent for potential future strikes on shipping.show more
